Rural Broadband: Governement contract for $257 million

30. March 2008 Categories ISP Reviews | 0 Comments »

Ah, this bodes well!

One of our biggest challenges relocating to Oregon has been high speed connectivity. I miss my residential DSL! It screamed compared to my very expensive satellite connection, it was only $15/mo.

The bad news is that Oregon isn’t on Open Range Communications‘ (they won the contract - but who are they?) list of areas that will be affected. It does mean, I hope, that there is government acknoledgement of the importance of rural citizens to have broadband access similar to that available to our city denizens.

KizmeTech.com has plans to launch an on-line resource service that collects local reviews of Internet Service Providers so that people may make more informed decisions from those that are seen advertised. If you read this and have a review, please send it along as a comment, or via the Contact page of this site.

And Thanks in advance! As KizmeTech grows in popularity, content and page rank, the link love you get from providing a review will be well worth the few minutes of time. I will be developing a form specifically to collect these reviews shortly.
