Telecompetitor is reporting
on Republican Senator, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, introducing legislation known as
the Connecting
America Act of 2009 to help boost broadband in un-served and underserved
markets.
What’s different about this pending legislation
is that current grant and loan program underway through the broadband stimulus
program, Hutchinson’s approach uses tax credits for companies investing in
broadband infrastructure.
Ms. Hutchinson is not only an astute politician,
but she’s just announced that she is going to be running for Governor of Texas
against current Governor Rick Perry.
· Given this legislation and given her desire to be Governor, I
have a hat tip to the Senator: reposition
the legislation by calling it the Wired
Home Networking Act of 2009.
· Team up with AT&T (who just happens to be run by a
Republican supporting Chairman and CEO-Randall Stephenson) and whose company,
Texas-based AT&T just happens to be a big supporter of G.hn, and promote
tax credits for home owners who buy and invest in G.hn-based products.
· Maybe team up with HomeGrid Forum’s Board Member, Best Buy, and
give home-owners a sales tax free holiday for one year on any G.hn-based
products.
Politics aside, Senator Hutchinson could bring a
breath of fresh air into the conversation on the Governor’s race and advance
the ITU’s new standard for home networking.
I’d welcome a meeting with the Senator so I can
further elaborate.
So, if you’re listening, Senator Hutchinson, how
about a meeting anywhere in Texas?
Everywire is a blog that will talk about G.hn and related wired networking news.
