Are you stimulated?

Is your rez suffering economically? Could your tribe use an economic boost to provide jobs AND build infrastructure at the same time? Then why not go for the president's Broadband Economic Stimulus grants? There will be over $7 billion available in broadband funds from both NTIA & USDA / RUS in three grant cycles. On July 1st, 2009 the funding agencies (RUS & NTIA) announced that funding is available NOW for their first cycle! You can find the grant applications and guidelines online . In addition, they are making it EASY for us to apply be hosting several workshops in the next few weeks. Grant writers, techies, council people, make your travel arrangements! Get funding for your tribal networks! Wi-Max! Fiber to the home! Don't miss out! The train is only coming through town once! And they won't come back to get you once you realize you should have jumped on it. Just pack up your duffle bag and go....

BTW, I will be at tomorrow's workshop in Billings, MT. You can register for online(see my Tribal Broadband Blog).
