Where do they get their money? Is this just more taxpayer money being thrown down the tubes? |

That's irrelevant. The loan money has to have a source. And someone has to cover it if defaulted upon. |

| How is THAT irrelevant? The MBDA does not LOAN money out nor does the MEDC (Which the MBDA came out of). The loan is either from a finacial institution or investors.
I am a bit surprised at your concern over this "Possibly" being paid out of Taxpayer money...
As we dish out billions and billions to Iraq, Afganistan, Africa, the UN!
The MBDA is merely attempting to get Braodband available to areas that the Good Ole Bells and cable companies don't want to cover. |

Why complain about that money when we're burning it on worthless technology like BPL? |
