I might not be able to make the meeting, but I'm definitely interested in 
providing any ammo and support I can. I'm the owner of a web development 
company, and we're right now in the process of moving to Murray because of 
Utopia. We're in Foothill Village right now, but can't get Comcast (even 
if we wanted to) without paying $5000 installation fee for them to trench 
a line under a driveway (no overhead lines allowed), and the best Qwest 
can get us is 1.5Mbps DSL, because the lines are lousy. (We spent most of 
last week at 600kbps down and 100kbps up until they came out and replaced 
a faulty line on our circuit.)

I'd love to stay in SLC, but simply can't afford to when I can get 30Mbps 
for about $125/month if I pick up an office in centrally-located Murray. 
So if my story or voice can be of any assistance, let me know.

Perhaps taking a poll might be in order? Ask around at local businesses 
and inform them about Utopia and its benefits over Comcast and Qwest, and 
ask them if they had all three available in their area, which would they 
choose. I bet we'll get some great results, even if we just present the 
facts without a sales job.

By the way, we're hiring great talent, if anyone is interested. The 
positions we're looking to fill most are for PHP/MySQL web developers and 
HTML/CSS front-end developers (with or without Graphic Design or Flash or 
JavaScript skills). There's a bunch of extra money for a developer with 
the skills and talent to be a Team Lead (a management and development role 
responsible for training, QA, and estimating for the team). Someone that 
wanted to do FreeBSD sysadmin part of the time would be welcome too. Linux 
geeks are highly encouraged to apply, and FreeBSD geeks are even more 
highly favored, with OSX being a close runner up. (We'll take the right 
Windows guy too, and work on converting him.) We pay 100% of your health 
insurance (single, two-party or family plans) and pay highly competetive 
rates. We have a generous bonus plan and a lot of fun. Our new Murray 
office will have Utopia and the Game Room. Send questions and resumes to 
info at codegreene.com .

Thanks,
Mac
