 11 public-private partnerships would aid in the goal of increasing broad-
 12 band speeds, and whether relevant businesses would be open to such part-
 13 nerships; and (v) best practices recommended within the National Broad-
 14 band Plan issued by the Federal Communications Commission and whether

 16 such recommendations.

 19 and shall take all other steps necessary to provide a thorough analysis
 20 of all issues related to the provisions listed in section one of this
