How does Obama's broadband New Deal come to fruition? - FierceBroadbandWireless

Now the dirty work begins. How does this all come to fruition? How will the funds be doled out, what companies and technology will benefit and what strings will be attached in terms of regulations? Will it come in the form of support for nationwide operators or a nationwide licensee that would require the winning bidder to open up 25 percent of its network for free broadband access? (Earlier this week I got an email from M2Z PR folks with the subject line: "Obama Adopts M2Z Plan, Promises 100% Broadband Availability." M2Z has been pushing the FCC to adopt rules next week that would license a nationwide wireless broadband operator and set aside a portion for free broadband to the country's have-nots.)
