I'm thinking that you should include the state of private higher education in the conversation. Oregon is home to a wealth of renowned private higher education institutions. It is unfortunate that your guests are only from public higher education.

Thanks, you might want to ask David Olson this question.

The reality is that our communications infrastructure pipeline is MORE important today than the roads we drive on. The question is whether we (the public) should be denied or restricted access to this vital service. I for one would not want GM or Ford dictating who gets to ride on what streets and when and how fast. In many ways, Comcast/Qwest and other communications firms are doing this. We need more public/civic regulation to make sure our 21st century lifeline to the world (the communications infrastructure) is available to everyone.

I have heard that there is a larger community fiber network that is under consideration at the City of Portland. I was wondering if there are other cities looking at this and what/if any positive effects it would have on economic development?

Anyone have more info.?
