Had an interesting meeting in town this morning.
I am in the process of commissioning T1 lines out to pockets of houses in my area and then using radio links to cover the 'last mile'.
There are a bunch of people in the County who are looking at getting State and Federal funding to provide high-speed internet for people.
What is interesting is that they are looking at doing the middle-mile -- running fiber and such but they do not have the infrastructure to handle the last mile -- delivery to people's houses.
We dovetail perfectly. Also at the meeting was someone from a County-wide foundation and also one of the higher-mucky-mucks in the County Planning Department. Good connections to have for any project.
The next year will be interesting for people in this area -- the radio links I am installing will handle fiber speed so all I would need to do is turn over the router passwords and have them cut me a nice big fat check.
