Folks in Colorado will want to check out the 2011 Rural Broadband MountainConnect conference at Mt Princeton Springs, Nathrop, Colorado from June 12-13. Those who want to go will have to Request an Invitation (see the site for details). Some of the discussion topics include:

• What exactly is Rural Broadband?
• What are the real Community Benefits?
• How do we get to Gigabit Speeds?
• Success stories: Lessons learned
• National Trends & Regulation

I have been assured that this is not some vendor-dominated event trying to selling you something, so if you are nearby, consider checking it out.
