Ohio wireless/ broadband task force legislation

A bill introduced in the Ohio House of Representatives last month would be creating a “broadband & wireless telecommunications task force” consisting of business and government representatives to “examine & make recommendations on the availability of broadband & wireless telecommunications in rural southeast Ohio and any economic impact that would create, the future availability, and any other issues deemed appropriate,” reporting to the Governor and General Assembly by the summer of 2008.
