Long day today -- into town and meeting
Had to run into town to get some parts for a project at the store.
Came back out here and went to that Chamber meeting at the nearby town. The general feeling out here is that despite the "
buzz" surrounding the whole Rural Broadband campaign; nothing will actually happen out in our community. Hell, I am still pissed at Bill Clinton and Congress for not sticking to their guns on the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 and allowing over three billion dollars of our money to be pissed away by the large Telcos with nothing to show for it. This is just the same bullshit repackaged into a $20B box.
Talking about odd Telco tariffs -- anyone remember this story:
here,
here and
here?
Anyway, people were very interested and I am going back next Monday for the water board (their board, not the one I am serving on) meeting as that is the entity that actually owns the building.
The model I am looking at is
MAIN.NC. With the possibility of low-power FM stations being allowed again, this is a fun time to be up here...
