The Michigan Broadband Authority has a mission that other states might adopt - improve the deployment and utilization of broadband service in the state.
They offer low-cost loans to telecommunications companies willing to make investments in broadband networks and services, such as fiber, DSL, cable, and fixed wireless. It provides organizations in the public and private sector low-cost financing for the acquisition of hardware and software applications and services.
According to a report issued by TechNet, Michigan had the best strategies to help foster growth - by far. Michigan is a recognized leader in competing for new business growth and attracting and retaining a world-class workforce.
Start with the assumption that all public housing must have free broadband internet access. Last Mile Technologies has deployed citywide wireless access in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan to 10,000 people using multiple hotspots. Last Mile uses Proxim’s Tsunami point-to-point and point-to-multipoint outdoor gear, to distribute wireless access to outdoor and indoor ORiNOCO 802.11a and 802.11b equipment.
Maybe I’ll create a Portland Broadband Authority website, right now.
My web site model would be the The Burning Man Packaged Tour spoof.
