Stimulus bill includes $7.2 billion for broadband | Politics and Law - CNET News
Let the scramble begin!
In Vermont I would guess that the ValleyNet fiber project folks are celebrating because surely some of this broadband money will flow their way for a project that might have otherwise been difficult to fund.
I would think that the Vermont Telecommunications Authority plans and mission will surely benefit. With the specific emphasis on rural area funding within the Department of Agriculture, Vermont should benefit there, too.
Those projects that are ready to go will receive the biggest benefit, obviously.
The story does not describe how the funds will be allocated by state, but I would think that our senior senator Leahy will be able to tip the bucket toward Vermont.
