I would also suspect that there 'might' be monies from both the State and Fed insofar as a 'shovel ready' project to boost the economy. But again, that implies going with a muni option AOT a community-based one.

Sorry, I use AsOpposedTo and youre using AOT to mean who, Great Auk?
I've noticed a total of two antennas in my travels around Stowe, one on
Stagecoach road and
another in the back hills. Both, I suspect are private use only, and I'm sure
that there are more as
wireless spreads (?) into Mo'vegas. But in three years, I've yet to see any
real wireless development in Stowe
generally and I don't believe it's for lack of interest. I realize that tower
space is a premium on Mansfield and
that 1/3rd of slice of space only goes so far. But geeze, I still think
something is wrong with the picture.

Good idea, thanks. No, but I'll look into it. What I'm hoping is that if there
are people interested that they will
make their contacts and resources accessible; which are probably considerably
more than mine.
Again, appreciate your inputs Dave.
