Oregon group calls for '100 Megabit Nation'. The Fiber-to-the-Home Council wants a "100 Megabit Nation" policy to ensure that next-generation broadband connections are universally available by 2015.

Brian Libby also gives us the details on Boneyard NW: "In a first-of-its-kind effort in the nation, the Portland metro area's regional government has created an online marketplace for usable commercial construction materials that have been taken out of a building during renovation or demolition."
