elements of a Step Two Letter

look what I got my grubby little hands on today...

the exact elements of the Step 2 letter from the Rural Utilities Service Broadband Infrastructure Program. (I didn't even have to sell my 2nd born for it either, just had to be pushy and convince someone to give up the goods!)

When I got it, the first thing I thought was "eh!"! It's not too much different from what we already knew would be requested from looking at the NOFA, the BIP Application and other stuff on the BroadbandUSA.gov website.

BUT it sure is nice to get a sneak peek anyway of the proverbial 'REAL THING'.

And here's to hoping this post won't be your only opportunity to read these words below...

DOH!
