Mentoring "Broadband.gov"
Hi Kyle! I'm Manishearth, one of the Online Ambassadors here at Wikipedia. I'll be mentoring your group (Group 3: Broadband.gov). Please let me know when your fellow groupmates, Daniel Hesselschwerdt and Collin Lochinski create their accounts. Feel free to notify me on my talk page if you need assistance. Good luck!

Broadband.gov first draft
Broadband.gov is the U.S. Government's website detailing the National Broadband Plan for America. Run by the FCC, it contains all of the information on how Broadband will affect the nation's systems, such as healthcare and education. Each system has their own devoted section of the website.

FCC Blog

The Blog maintained on Broadband.gov gives details on the interworkings of the FCC's plans for the National Broadband Plan. In addition, it allows for the FCC to post articles of interest that don't require a national announcement. Articles are posted about once a week and can range from application overload on our smartphones, to relating back to the main Broadband.gov site, giving details about changes and additions.

Resources

Broadband.gov contains many resources for the everyday user. Included in these is a broadband tester, allowing you to see how fast your internet speed is currently, and a broadband finder, allowing you to see what the highest speeds in your area are, and whether or not you can upgrade easily. In addition, a application showing how the broadband spectrum is split up between the different frequencies and companies is available for the user. More resources are being added as the website and plan progresses.

Communication
Hi there! I'd left some messages at User_talk:Schill76/sandbox, but none of you replied. I just realized that maybe you might not have known that I'd be using the talk page for centralized discussion. Anyways, you guys have moved the article to the mainspace, so I'll be using Talk:Broadband.gov for any messages related to the page (You guys can use the page for discussion, too-- It makes stuff easier to keep track of). On a side note, Professor Obar wants your page to go to the next level, i.e., DYK. For that, we'll need what's called a DYK "hook". See my reply here, where I've explained what a "hook" is and how to go about writing one. Manish Earth Talk • Stalk 08:56, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
