[Advisors] an excellent article about municipal broad band in U.S.

[Brian Beaton]

Marita .. KNET¹s work since 1994 (24 years)  is a direct result of this
attitude by telcos in Canada .. I would add that the BIG TELECOM¹s continue
to milk the public broadband funding opportunities with their ³last mile²
approach to expanding their centralized networks using the public dollars on
the premise that these expansions / developments will support the regional
network developments. After 20 years of accessing these publicly funded
programs we see how well they have done reaching their ³last mile². For this
reason, we set up the First Mile Connectivity Consortium (FMCC ­
http://firstmile.ca) with Indigenous network partners who are developing
broadband networks and services with the First Mile in mind so everyone
along the route is properly served.

Big Telecom has little interest in expanding to small towns and farmlands,
so rural America is building its own solutions.

Are there any summaries like this about Canadian initiatives in this area
