L.A. mayor releases committee report on filling gaps in broadband coverage (PDF): The committee includes a few academics and the rest are incumbent telco and cable company folk. That's why the report's tone is quite extraordinary. It mostly evenhandedly lays out the scope of the problem, looks into what approaches might be taken to solve it (including all the models out there), and reaches conclusions that aren't unreasonable.
Pro-municipal advocates won't find the report anything to cheer about except the scope of the problem as stated, but I don't find anything misrepresented--except the definition of Metcalfe's Law.
