Feast or Famine for Broadband New Task Force To Study Options By Bill Brubaker (Washington Post, Thursday, July 8, 2004) highlights the mission of the newly formed Loudoun Broadband Coalition, composed of about 50 business executives and government leaders. The coalition plans to hold a summit this fall and issue a report by year's end.
