Maine goes broadband

From the State of the State address by the governor of Maine, John Baldacci:

"...Tonight I am announcing 'Connect Maine,' a broad and aggressive telecommunications strategy for this state. Connect Maine will give nearly every Mainer the opportunity to plug into the global economy from their community. It will ensure that 90 percent of Maine communities have broadband access by 2010; 100 percent of Maine communities have quality wireless service by 2008; and Maine's education system has the technology infrastructure that leads the nation."

Yeah, the details count, but still: Cool! (Thanks to Jock for the link. And thanks to Dewayne Hendricks for working on the Maine initiative.) [Technorati tags: broadband maine]
