At our local SXSWi show, Interactive Austin, yesterday there was a lot of talk about the City of Austin website situation. Problem was no one had a clue about where the project was, what the city’s plans were or what the process was going to be to further the dialogue about the $1,200,000 development project that nearly got shipped to India via California. What was present was a lot of talent in most necessary disciplines to easily carry off the Austin Website project. So who do we talk to, who do we get to explain to us what happens next.

After facing a surge of complaints from customers, Time Warner has decided to delay the rollout in both Texas cities until October. Presumably, a few months will make bandwidth caps easier to swallow.
