Re: Broadband = Prosperity??? The upstate NY area needs economic development and MAJOR policy/tax overhauls that lead to corporate investment in the area.
Broadband doesn't fit into the picture. This is bullshit, its got to be someone's pet project.
"I don't give a rat's ass that they have broadband in Upstate NY, their taxes are the highest in the nation", (quoted by -insert your fav CEO's name here-) |

| Upstate NY also includes 6 Million acres of Adirondack park. It doesn't need broadband (folks are content enough with camping).
Besides, there is a big spin of anti-wind power (pun). The farmers (nice people, but not ideal for internet surfers...they have to farm and the net ain't helpin, doncha know). They need more ways to keep costs down up there.
Instead, the bleedover from VT is crossing the Champlain and I think they will want another bridge.
I agree. Someone is wanting to make money off the state.
(I love going upstate and saying, You can't reach me. There is little or no cell access. And net access is dialup). So peaceful. Look a woodpecker. And a heron. And trout. And a black bear..) |

Technically I guess the broadband access improvements are a small part of the plan, which includes tax cuts and other projects....
As a native of Binghamton, I'll note it's desperately needed. |
