Anyone from Stanford University, or other local educational institutinos on this list (or pa-fiber)? It would be nice to have a local educational institution looking hard into the advantages of municipal communications efforts, and leveraging influence to make Palo Alto and the Peninsula a leader in this area. It doesn't have to be wireless, btw - there are large questions and unique opporunities for all modalities. What an opportunity!

This is the excellent University of Georgia Mobile Media Consortium, looking for ways to find out "what works" in the mobile media space. It's a "user-goals" approach to making commerce and technology work together. Stanford and other Peninsula educational institutions should be working toward these ends.

Best,
