Re: A whole institute huh?

This new "Broadband Institute" just replaces one Massachusetts already had called the "Wireless and Broadband Development Fund", which accomplished nothing. All they did was up the money set aside for that fund from $25,000,000 to $40,000,00 in the new bill and transfer the money and obligations of the original fund to the new fund.
See here for the details:
»www.mass.gov/legis/bills/senate/···2796.pdf
the Massachusetts Technology Park Corporation, established pursuant to section 3 of chapter 40J of the General Laws, shall transfer the balance of the Wireless and Broadband Development Fund to the Massachusetts Broadband Incentive Fund.
And here is where the government drones hand out the pork to the party faithful:
The institute may provide and pay for such advisory services and technical assistance as may be necessary or desired to carry out its purposes.
