[I am very excited to hear news of Cisco's Connected Urban Development
Initiative and their commitment, in partnership with MIT and the cities of
San Francisco, Seoul and Amsterdam, to spend $15 million in support of
advanced network solutions to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.  This is very
much in line with the Green Broadband initiative referenced in my earlier
postings. Unfortunately there does not yet exist a web site describing
Cisco's initiative.  But there is some excellent background material
publicly available from either myself or Nicola Villa of Cisco on this
initiative.  Thanks to Nicola Villa of Cisco -- BSA]
