Just because a program works at the state level doesn't mean it will work at the federal level. Other states should take a look at this program and see if it will work for them. Something that works in Kentucky may not necessarily work in Texas or Maine or Oregon, etc.
If your postulate is correct can there ever be a www?

You're comparing apples and oranges.

The web was invented by a British guy working at a lab funded by the Swiss and French governments. There is a lot less gruntwork involved in developing a concept like the web than digging holes in the ground, running cables and installing equipment.

Access to the web is either equally robust or those in the Old Line State will be watching it in 'Black and White' while their 'Blue Grass' neighbors will be enjoying HDTV. Ubiquitous bandwidth is to the web what the core is to the apple.

No, the Internet was invented in the US with funding from the US government (DARPA, IIRC). The World Wide Web, which is what pnh102 was talking about:

and which is only part of the Internet -- was indeed developed in Europe.
