Who’d have known that the US Federal Communications Commission is running an apps development contest! I stumbled upon it by accident Deadline is June 1st.
Here’s the URL:

People can whine and moan that the FCC is clueless and behind the times, but I think they are trying. It would be nice if the same people who perennially try to undermine these kinds of well-intentioned efforts (and that includes the National Broadband Plan and the FCC’s “Allvid” proposal) would instead join the discussion, to make them better.
