What would be the roadmap to a 4G Rural Americas Program Solution?

1.  Education... lots of it... on this blog and by other means.
2.  Identify potential suppliers.  Write an RFI (Request for Information) to see if there is are suppliers that can provide a technical solution consistent with our needs and constraints (eg, terrain)  Who?  Don't know.  Any suggestions?  How about a joint RFI from the three mountain communities?
3.  Identify potential manager companies.  The assumption is that there will be a technical solution and then a business management solution.  I would be very surprised if the two functions would come under the same hat.  The manager corp take care of operations.  I'm working on that.
4.  Serious negotiations could occur only if there are reasonable responses to the RFIs.  RFIs are NOT the final kind of technical document.  It is only a scope and possibility document.
5.  Establish the potential manager company, at least for the timeframe required to evaluate the responses to the RFQs.
5.  After RFIs come RFQs (Request for Quote), which would be generated jointly by the RFI writers and the potential manager company..  The responses would be evaluated and a partner selected.  A contract with the manager company would be established.   A budget for implementation and operation would be drawn up, etc.  From here it is the project management drill for a program.
