$296 million multiplied by ? in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r17658193 en Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:19:31 EDT Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:19:31 EDT $296 million multiplied by ? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17658193 dynodb : Please tell me they didn't get the $296 million number from Becca Vargo Daggett, a staunch muni broadband advocate with the left wing Institute for Local Self-Reliance.

It's pretty much a given that government projects almost always end up costing much more than initially claimed and that advocacy groups often fudge the numbers in favor of their position. If Becca is claiming $296 million, chances are the actual costs would be closer to $500 million.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17658193 Wed, 17 Jan 2007 11:46:09 EDT
