Google rallies broadband troops - Telecom News Analysis

Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) wants you to tell the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) how to draw up plans for a national broadband network in the U.S. Under the terms of the economic stimulus Recovery Act package, the FCC has to draft those plans by February 2010. The agency has asked for "maximum civic engagement" in the process.

Google aims to give 'em just that. The search giant has used its official blog to call for submissions on the FCC plans.
