Before we forget, let us happily note that Portia Krebs from USTA has just launched a blog, appropriately titled NextGenWeb.

Be sure to check out her first post introducing the site, and then another one from her colleague, Bill Deere, about testifying before a House small business committee yesterday, addressing the subject of rural broadband — an important issue we’ve talked about here before.

This is an exciting development. In the fight for the Internet’s future, we can always use another ally — especially one who brings institutional knowledge and technical expertise to the table.
