Hunter Newby, whose team ‘invented’ the carrier interconnection model in the late '90s and early 2000, shared his insite on the Broadband Stimulus asking [‘Can It Really Be Done for $7.2 Billion?’](https://coresite.com/Newsletter_Q1_2010.php#Industry_Insights) Since the first round of funding was awarded around February 16th, the majority of the 1,400 applicants were not awarded grants or loans totaling $4.2 billion.  With the first round of funding completed, Mr. Newby observed that there is no clear plan as to how the Nation will address the issue of high-speed broadband access for all.   [![](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png "HunterNewby")](http://alliedfiber.com/management.php)Newby goes on to explain the major issues associated with the Broadband Stimulus package and how the federal government is attacking the problem.  It’s an interesting read – with more to come from Newby on the topic for sure.  As the CEO of Allied Fiber, he has set out to build the nation’s first and only carrier neutral dark fiber network to provide interconnectivity solutions between wireline and wireless providers.  It is with the careful planning of Allied Fiber’s network and business that provides Newby with his keen observations of the nation’s broadband stimulus initiatives.  Time will certainly tell how the Government awards its funds as we all watch on - trying to solve the enigmatic  approach to the process.
