| Hot off the (.pdf) presses, the "Broadband Strategy" document as well as the RFP for the grants that the Council will be doling out can be found here.
At first glance, I see no mention of Net Neutrality in the strategy document, though the grants list "Open Access/Vendor (Network) Neutrality" at the top of their criteria.
Speaking of the grants, there are two of them.
Grant 1 is titled "INCREASE PHYSICAL ACCESS TO BROADBAND INTERNET SERVICES STATEWIDE"
Grant 2 is titled "PROVIDE EQUAL AND UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO BROADBAND INTERNET SERVICES FOR
UNDERSERVED RURAL AND URBAN AREAS (INCLUDING SCHOOLS & LIBRARIES)"
I've just started looking through these and will have more to say later, but I wanted to make other interested folks aware that they have been released. Have a look see and tell us what you think. |
