They Call Them Rural

What a bunch of CRAP!

From the Green Bay Press.

$30 Million Targeted For Rural Broadband Expansion

WASHINGTON — As many as 139,000 households and 9,000 businesses could benefit from nearly $30 million in new economic stimulus funding announced Wednesday to expand high-speed Internet service in rural Wisconsin.

The money will go to the University of Wisconsin-Extension for a project to link 182 community institutions — including colleges, health-care facilities, government buildings, libraries, public safety agencies and K-12 schools — in the Chippewa Valley region, Platteville, Superior and Wausau.


Wouldn't you think that all the places that are getting the money already have broadband? Then there are some like I that still have dial up because I live in the boonies. Who is considered rural and who is just getting money to peeeeee away?

What a bunch of CRAP!
