More Supernova stuff

I'm having lots of fun at Supernova.  Check out another one of my posts from yesterday, full notes from the session "Virtual Life or Virtual Hype?" .

I've been bumping into all sorts of fun people. I'll talk about them, probably, one at a time here (if at all), because wireless coverage is spotty and I don't want to lose my posts.

Today I ran into the so-wonderful Gary Bolles - I am a huge fan of his.  His company Microcast is running a conference in New Hampshire on 10/3/2007 during which major presidential candidates will be invited to discuss their positions on broadband Internet access in America, particularly in rural america.  Gary's business partner Esme Vos and I spoke yesterday afternoon, and she told me that in Europe rural broadband access is considered a strategic priority to enhance economic development.  In the U.S., rural areas are often overlooked by the commercial access providers because it's too expensive for them, so they are out of luck.

Sounds like an interesting event.  Get more info from Esme's website, MuniWireless, by emailing nbbs2007 at that domain.
