Of the three broadband providers in Hoover, only one actually seemed to be interested in our cause, and that was Bright House Networks.
Robert Smith of Bright House contacted me today and said that they had some high level discussions on the implementation of a program, but they were having some administrative hurdles, which he explained.
Mr. Smith also brought up something that neither Rep. Bachus' office, nor Sen. Sessions' office were aware of, and that is a bill that a Congresswoman from California was trying to get passed.
Congresswoman Doris Matsui (D-CA) has introduced H.R. 2163, The Broadband Affordability Act of 2011
In a nutshell, this piece of legislation does what we are attempting to accomplish. I have calls in to Rep. Bachus' office and Sen. Sessions' office. As soon as I speak with them, it will be time to contact all of your representatives in Washington to get their support on this important bill.
I'll report back when I hear more.
