Probably putting in VDSL to cash in on federal "high speed Internet" grants.

It's so frustrating, I worked with a group that had their own community broadband council just to get broadband more wide spread in their county.

Those grants are ridiculous and on objection from another fed department about their grants creating a conflict or another coop claiming they are already offering can derail a whole application. Applications that are not easy or cheap to produce either.

Makes me sick to my stomach
