Today we received a request to support Greenwire Broadband's efforts to improve bandwith in rural areas. Greenwire Broadband is claiming this is a "once in a lifetime opportunity" and comparing it to 1936 Rural Electrification Act Have any of you been contacted by this organization? They are claiming 28 Oregon rural counties are potentially eligible for improved service, if they receive the ARRA grant Thanks in advance for any comments you have to share.
