The Pew Internet & American Life reported last week that most folks do not think broadband deployment should be a top government priority. So I think the onus is on us broadband-believers to win over the non-believers. The folks in Cook County do such a good job of keeping their community (and hangers-on like me) informed and enthused on the latest broadband news in the community.
Here are the latest headlines:
- Fiber Optic Network Backbone Coming Up the Shore in 2012 (through the North East Service Cooperative)
- Still Waiting on RUS Round 2 Grant Applications
- Senator Klobuchar invites Bruce Kerfoot to Speak
- Blandin Minnesota Intelligent Rural Communities (MIRC) Project RFP (looking for local ideas to promote broadband)
