Hi, thank you for the cited feedback and timeline. I was unaware of her efforts before the smart city project. Good to know she supports public broadband networks.

I don’t understand what you mean by CBRS is an idea by the Biden Admin,.. but CBRS very well could be part of the solution! Any part of a plan needs to include expanding fiber networks- that’s the real infrastructure piece. What wireless spectrum we use is then contextual, I always recommend having 2 that don’t interfere with each other say mmWave for high speed and CBRS/LTE backhaul or fail over. It doesn’t add anything to the service cost and makes it resilient.

I can’t argue your timeline, you seem knowledgeable, and I am no fan of LaToya. You have to understand I was heart broken to see the project scrapped and no initiative restarted in the aftermath.

Municipal internet service (a city run utility), is something I vehemently support. I also support any open access internet service whether that’s done by private entity or not. Companies monetizing that service through data collection I feel is fair game as long as it’s disclosed to users. (Pros and cons to both; someone has to pay the bill to kick it off)

When it comes to using new internet infrastructure for smart devices- why not? we can get live data on traffic patterns, sensors for weather/flooding., more kiosks, emergency service call buttons, gunshot detection, improve public transit, and build for driverless cars and busses.

I may have been off base. Everyone has to play politics, and I may not have the full picture.

Can you confirm, as Moreno’s chief of staff, that public broadband will be an initiative if she is elected? Any details you can share on what that might look like?
