Microsoft today announced that it is joining the Schools, Health and Libraries Broadband Coalition.
While some commentators see this as a big win formedical and educational institutions, I find it to be a big win for Microsoft.
I've been telling those I advise for some time that they need to contact any educational or medical customers to get stimulus cash because the stimulus is directed at key institutions and the money can only go to non-profits.
In fact, the money will be directed by the net's powerhouses, such as Microsoft, but it will be nominally granted to institutions that are the lynchpin of their community.
The goal of the act is that for-profit institutions be binded to non-profits in a patriotic network that serves the national interest.
I'm hoping for the best, but watching closely.
