Broadband-field-of-dreams :: Connect Ohio
Dear whomever wrote the blog entry 'Broadband field of dreams',
That is one pathetic essay! With optimism like yours, one can only expect bad things or even nothing in return.
As I have been reading articles on broadband implementation in the recent past, awaiting the guidelines for the broadband applications, I have been amazed at the power of broadband and encouraged by our future investments all over this world.
There is a book you may want to read called 'Broadband Communities'. It is a very realistic overview of how broadband has and will improve our world.
You may also want to read a great article about the city of Issy-les-Moulineaux in France (http://www.govtech.com/gt/695564) and how they have made a commitment to being a broadband community and are reaping the benefits today.
You should look at the great projects that will come of the hard work by the members of OneCommunity.org in Northeast Ohio. They are creating a realistic non-profit business model that will build broadband infrastructure in Ohio and around the world.
There are many other great things coming forward as a result of this focus on broadband investment. Just because it is being initiated by our Federal government, does not mean that ALL projects will be 'bridges to nowhere'. There will be many projects that change the world and they will occur right here in the great state of OHIO!
Next time you want to rant and complain about how horrible this initiative is going to be, why don't you keep it to yourself or how about helping those of us that live here by taking your great optimism out of Ohio!
Sincerely,
Jeff Beebe
