New Jersey docs and links to the book pdfs
When you said spread sheet — here are the books and a report we did with CITI.
this gives us the complete picture for all telcos and goes from 1970s- through 2015.
I also added it as a doc. file because it shows an X for the excell
NEW JERSEY–
i’ll do the rest of the NJ stuff in the format but
1) I attached is what we filed as a PDF
2) I attached the New Jersey 5 year plan ‘volume 2’ —
3) and this is a link to the attachments
https://www.nj.gov/connect/documents/bead/Initial-Proposal-v2-Attachments.zip
The filing and the 5 year plan is what we want to compare. — but the books would give depth and history — and they all have parts of the NJ and Verizon story — and we have another 5-10 NJ docs — including our filings, rate increases, class actions, etc —
I will write up why new jersey — but if you read the filing, you’ll see it’s a model for the other states.
–and the books — the mergers etc for Michigan, ameritech, etc — the whole story
so the attachments are the word doc and the excel for the book links and a short description, and our filing in NJ and the 5 year proposal plan–
PS: I’m dying to see what the AI comes up with — you can incorporate DISSconnected and the 5 year plan as a separate test.
We want to know — i’ll make a list of outcomes but
a) we are trying to prove that the 5 year plans never mention basic material facts — who created the digital divide in their state, the failure to even mention verizon (or ATT Michigan, the failure to call for audits or investigations — which are the main points of our filing–

I want to introduce you to my prospective partner in Montana. He is running a nonprofit using Althea technology to provide the school system and surrounding residence with both Internet and telephone. He is an excellent example of how an alternative can get started and should receive funding. I have begun to create a course that I have called get funding workshop. I’d like to have all of us interact and put the results into that workshop, which I have scheduled to launch in January.
First, here is what I put into the course description, which served as a prompt for AI to generate the names of five lessons.
A group exploration of government and private funding, from identifying sources to have a stake in a product, project, or idea, all on one map. You can also document their roles and your relationship with them.
Here are the five AI generated lesson names:
Course Content
Understanding the Landscape: Mapping Government and Private Funding Sources
Identifying Opportunities: Researching and Evaluating Potential Funding Sources
Building Relationships: Nurturing Connections with Government and Private Funders
Crafting Your Pitch: Presenting Your Product, Project, or Idea to Funding Stakeholders

Was the spreadsheet OK?
I think this stuff is interesting… but i have to stick the plan I laid out — and not get distracted with other projects — like the workshop — for now.
So, i’ll decline to meet with althea, etc — for now.
by dec 5-8, i have to do at least 3 state filings — and getting the AI stuff up and running enough to use it in these filings – is all I care about
we are also filing with the FTC over hidden fees, and chuck is editing that, and the FCC about the broadband advanced networks reports, section 706 —
And the alternative path stuff I mentioned — and the… etc..
So, doing the AI on NJ — — and that if it works,– we do the other states and MICHIGAN and then do PR for what we just did …
The IRREGULATORS, “Advocates, Telecom Analysts, forensic auditors, lawyers and programmers are now one of the first to use the new AI tools to defend the public interest — or something like that.
So, not interested in workshops, etc untill we do this next step and see what happens.
I’m not saying your idea is bad– but I’ don’t have cycles to pull off the larger picture — and because the 5 year plans are now DUE — we have one opportunity to take this current shot — with the books.
So, Dissconnected and the New Jersey 5 year plan, with our filing included — would be a great start to see what we have — And the filing date is Dec 8– the NTIA schedule for NJ was wrong. — but we filed.
i’m working on the filings all weekend… i’ll go through the AI stuff to see if I can figure it out as well.
and I’m closing the spreadsheet for NJ — with the links.
