Once again, opponents line up to say we don’t need universal, affordable high speed internet on the Iron Range. They don’t want competition and are unwilling to provide the service themselves. I don’t care whether it’s FiberNet, Qwest or someone else — our leaders need to recognize that if the Iron Range doesn’t make a concerted effort to not only catch up but pull ahead in high speed internet and technology infusion in our population we are destined for hard times and shrugging shoulders.
And kudos to Bill Hendricks (yes, I just typed that) for sticking to his guns on the issue at the Nashwauk PUC meeting. Bill and I disagree heartily on Excelsior Energy, but he’s got this one right.
