I think we can make this an online wine-tasting event. We can chat about what we’re watching while sipping!

This is terrific, h411. Great turnaround.

We still need the cable version, however. I saw a study that suggested that the majority of folks on dial-up are not about to switch to broadband. In some cases, it’s money. (Hey Hoboken, how about some free broadband?) In other cases, users have yet to see the point of switching to high-speed. But I wouldn’t blame this on technophobia.

There are people in the world who have yet to be sold on broadband/gov 2.0, in part because the people selling it don’t do the best sales job. I think this is going to be a bigger and bigger conversation as more of government goes online and the digital divide remains.

I was supposed to get FIOS. They never showed up. I'm glad they didn't. I did not know that channel 78 was not included. I love watching the meetings on channel 78. I don't always have the time and patience to attend in person. I never seem to catch it from beginning to end on 78. I just replaced my home computer. It will be great to watch online. My computer at work blocks such things. This is fantastic H411. Congratulations and Thanks! In response to timetes who said:

Great development. Looking forward to the debut. What about live streaming BoE meetings next?

(Another example of how Hoboken411 sets the bar – and is a valuable asset to the city of Hoboken! Let’s see how long it takes for others to pick up on this story – and whether they have the decency to mention 411’s involvement and influence…)

Hey, H411, I just Twittered this story, and hashtagged it #gov20…so your fans *are* trying to give you love and credit.
