Smallest state of the union...

But it still has a landmass of more than 4000 kilometers squared. In comparison, that is about the same amount of landmass that covers the Los Angeles Metropolitan Statistical Area. Rhode Island gets it's population density from just Providence alone, which has an MSA Population that's larger than the actual states population (1/6th of that in an area that's about 50km squared). Don't be fooled by RI's small size compared to other states, it's still a big project to wire an entire city.

On another note, huray for RI! Providence is a pretty cool town, and one of the best places in the US to live if you like that "small town feel".

Well, I won't be impressed until they get wireless broadband out to Block Island--that's part of RI also, but I bet they're not including it.

Not having this available for general consumer use is bogus. If you're only willing to spend $20M you get what you pay for. Easy to promise 1 Mb/s speeds if only a few cops and schools are using it... (And just think, those cops sitting in speed traps only need 100 minues to download a movie to watch.
