This guy sounds like any other jackhole with an overinflated view of himself.
Let's begin by stating the obvious.
Bringing broadband/fiber to rural northern New England is not going be a very lucrative endeavor for anybody at this point in time.
It's not as if private companies are lining up to do it.
New Hampshire and Maine believe that Fairpoint is capable of doing it and they must have found Fairpoint's numbers somewhat reasonable or they wouldn't have agreed to it. Vermont on the other hand, for some reason told Fairpoint to go pound sand. Now they think they're going to do it themselves and make it work.
Aint happening. This Mcnutty guy or whatever his name was may have been in the telecom industry but he sounds like a shyster.
The state has 75 million already to begin the project? That great but where's the money going to come from to maintain the network infrastructure for the next ten years, then after that....the ten after that..........It's going to cost much more than 75 million. Is the state planning to raise taxes to fund this? Is there a poll of private anonymous donors with bottomless pockets?
Vermont ranks second only to Massachusetts in New England when it comes nutty liberal arrogance. It's a nice place to go skiing and look at leaves in the fall but beyond that there's a reason why it's the least populous state in New England. |
