"The way this plan will work is that $25 million will go toward new wireless corridors, which will deliver free or low-cost access to 20,000 low-income households. Another $7.5 million will go to upgrading or expanding at least five existing wireless corridors. Then $1.6 million in state funds will focus on broadband around industrial zones for at least 500 businesses."<p>It's too bad his plan ignores the monopoly TimeWarner has over service to most of his city's customers. If more competition were introduced beyond the sporadic RCN and Verizon FiOS available to some buildings, it might bring down prices for all. I agree that universal broadband access is a net positive - but when the only innovation being introduced is a subsidy it's debatable whether state tax money should be spent to ensure his constituents have free access to watch Netflix and play Candy Crush.
