But seriously, this bill just created a Broadband Board and Fund that is UNFUNDED in the budget. They plan on taking money from the Transportation department to pay for it. Good Luck. See this for the info on the financial comments on the bill. »mlis.state.md.us/2006rs/fnotes/b···1156.pdf
And here is the bill's info: »mlis.state.md.us/2006rs/billfile/hb1156.htm

Eastern shore of Maryland shares a peninsula with lower Delaware on the Eastern side of the Chesapeake Bay. The Western Shore is opposite the Peninsula on the other side of the Chesapeake.

Re: 10 Million over 3 years?

Maryland state lawmakers have agreed on a plan to spend millions on better Internet connections on the Eastern Shore, sending the measure to Gov. Robert Ehrlich.
I don't thinks Ehrlich will sign it . . . his wife will veto it.

Re: This is one Eastern Shoreman . . .
You and me both brother.
It's not that Comcast has been that bad of a ride, it's that we have no real choice.
Have not read the proposed plan yet but if all the money is going to Verizon... I wonder if any thing will change.
After all Fios would be great but if they lock everything down what good is a fat pipe?
What about WiMax? It seems like the Eastern Shore is a prime location for a large scale rollout.
--- The potential customer base is huge.
--- The potential customer base is spread out ideal for WiMax.
--- The Eastern Shore is growing like a deer tick on a blood hound in the middle of July.
--- Flat. No hills. Lots of open space.
Really what are they waiting on. |

Yes, I confess I'm too lazy to read the article. So who would own the pipes? Verizon or the state of Maryland? |

I do remember how nice of a place Baltimore was to visit when he was mayor there though... now if I go to the Inner Harbor I am more likely to be accosted by bums and panhandlers than to enjoy myself anymore.
But as for the Eastern Shore... I'd love to live there if it wasn't so far form where I work.

| OK, But
Where the hell is all the money going into the USF? Isn't that supposed to be funding this kind of thing? They must have billions in the fund by now (you would think).
Let me guess, it's just like the social security trust fund. no funds, just IOU's. |

But as for the Eastern Shore... I'd love to live there if it wasn't so far form where I work. I knew his time as mayor and he was decent in that he hated red tape and always wanted to get things done. He even made a promise that if the National Aquarium didn't open on time, he would swim in the outdoor seal tank. True to his word, he was decked out in an old time bathing suit with a Donald Duck inflatable toy and went in.
As a governor, he wasn't too good.  |
