I'd like to bring to this group's attention a grant program sponsored by 3Com
Corporation.

At the Commerce Department's "Digital Divide" conference last month, 3Com
announced The 3Com Urban Challenge Grant Program, which will provide 10 U.S.
cities a total of $1 million in donated products and services where
the mayor is
committed to utilizing networking technology to enhance educational curriculum
and/or public services.  You can get the application and other related
information directly at www.3com.com/urbanchallenge.    Included at this site
is fairly in-depth examples of how other cities have built ATM or Gigabit
Ethernet metropolitan area networks based on municipal utility involvement or
cable negotiation franchises, and what they're doing with those networks.
