Folks in this state have been getting a bit upset, and I don't blame them.
Telecommunication/Cable associations have been complaining and we don't know if anyone is listening. The state has proposed a project that repeats not just one, but a multitude of fiber carriers. They have made it clear that it will be used with the states University program Morenet, as well as for the state to have free traffic. The only applicants that Governor Jay Nixon supports are applicants that propose to use his new fiber ring. Yesterday, I spoke to the once CIO of the state, who interestingly moved to another department after the Governors' announcement of support. By the time all is said and done, the price to access that 'new fiber ring' is going to be about 3X what we negotiated with private carriers. We did an article: http://showmebroadband.com/stinks.html Any ideas?
