If Microsoft Supports Broadband, Why Support Connected Nation?

In January, Microsoft joined Connected Nation's National Advisory Council, and last December, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donated $7 million to the group. Just a suggestion, but if Microsoft really wants to help improve the nation's broadband fortunes, they might want to start by understanding exactly what they're investing in. Not that "hey guys, schools and libraries need broadband" isn't a really helpful contribution to the broader discourse.
