Doesn't sound like a government-funded deployment.

"An Act To Accelerate Private Investment in Maine's Wireless and Broadband Infrastructure."

Could just be a kind of state-wide franchise agreement where lower population cities get broadband in exchange for deregulation.

Sounds nice --- BUT.

SBCatt promised the Indiana legislature that they would turn dsl on in rural communities that were not being served in trade for a number of gimme items like release from regulatory oversight in x years and statewide franchise for telly.

Well, they turned it on in the CO's. Still won't reach the farms and distant customers 'cause DSL's still distance-sensitive but the good ol' boyz got what they wanted and it sounded nice.
