Sue et al---as we discussed last week, Scott Bolton and I had a conference
call on Friday with a coalition that is forming to promote national broadband
infrastructure policies. The members are currently Global Crossing (Michael
Freedman), Level 3 (Jim Pribyl), Williams and Quest.

The preliminary game plan of the coaltion is to target this policy initiative
in states where 1) there are currently problems or impediments such as bad
legislation or strong pushes for franchise fees for broadband 2) states with
opportunities 3)states where we collectively have heavy presence such as west
coast/east coast. The intent is to have only a few companies involved--about
5 or 6, with a commitment of time from the members and probably some
financial commitment in the $25,000 to $50,000 range over time (I'm thinking
12-18 months)

I will be seeing a few of these guys at the RGA meeting in Tampa at the end
of the week, and there will be another formal meeting in the next 3 or 4
weeks which Scott is going to try to attend.

I'd appreciate if if we could discuss at our EBS conference call on Monday
morning if there is time.
