But how connected are we; really?

Blandin FoundationI wanted to share the following editorial by Jim Hoolihan. It went out to 140 dailies and weeklies in Minnesota.

Now is the chance to take two minutes to find out, and to tell our rural experience to the Minnesota Ultra High Speed Broadband Task Force.

Until June 30, the task force is collecting the results of an online speed test. With the click of one button, at http://www.connectedmn.org, provide a critical data point. The resulting statewide map will be used by decision-makers as the state maps a more connected future.

The more rural residents and small businesses that take the speed test, the more accurate the map will be. So join me and the Blandin Foundation in getting on the grid and let your let your voices and speeds be known.
