Here’s a link to my full story at spokesman.com on today’s all-day legislative hearing on Idaho high school broadband, post-Idaho Education Network. The joint legislative committee will meet again in August, and members said they want to hear more about how other states handle the issue, hear from vendors who want to address the panel about what they do in Idaho, and learn more about how Idaho can promote broadband access statewide, beyond just schools and libraries, which were the focus of the IEN. Said Rep. Luke Malek, R-Coeur d'Alene, the committee's co-chair, "I think it's way too early ... to say where we're going with this. I think this committee needs to hear from as many stakeholders as possible."
