I don't know about Salt Lake but here in West Jordan we're starting one 
up.  There are several of us and the list is growing.  Speaking with 
Candidates for City Council to learn their position in the matter along 
with a few other things (shhh.. they might be listening ::grinz::)

Anyway, here is what I've learned about this meeting.  Who to send 
letters to, addresses and phone numbers.

I'm hoping SB66 isn't revived.  It's a bad idea and there is talk about 
reviving it.  Allowing Comcast and other's to maintain a Monopoly (or 
duopoly) is against everything a free market stands for.  Comcast for 
example is terminating Internet access when people use it too much. 
Not the best choice.

Anyway, below is what I've found and who we should direct letters to.

I'll have limited email access while I'm on my business trip.  If 
someone would kindly let me know how it turns out, I'd really appreciate it.

Comcast terminate your Internet access?
If you live in the New York Metro area then there are
a few reporters who want to speak with you about it.
