Comment targeted growth-oriented investments yadda yada (Score 2) 7

"Targeted growth-oriented investments aligned with the 6 strategic areas of focus," eh?

How will this help them leverage their core competencies in order to holistically administrate exceptional synergy? Will they still be able to distill their identify through client-centric solutions? And proactively oversee day-to-day operations, services and deliverables with cross-platform innovation?

Just wondering.

Comment I read tons, just not on paper. (Score 2) 73

I don't even know where I could even get a hardcopy version of Moses T. Runnels' two-volume History of Sanbornton, New Hampshire, totaling around 1,700 pages or so and published in 1882. But I frequently consult the PDF version I downloaded from one of the numerous web sites that has it available. Then there's my OverDrive Libby account, which gives me access to the holdings of something like eight library networks covering virtually all of a state, plus a university library or two. I voraciously consume news from a variety of sources, including through aggregators like Slashdot and Fark. Plus various academic journals related to my work and other interests, through one of the aforementioned university libraries.

In short, if I'm not asleep or driving, I'm likely reading something. I just use a lot less shelf space and forests than I used to.

Comment Not sure if this affects local fees, but maybe (Score 1) 15

At least around where I live, if a cable provider wants to offer service in a given town, they negotiate a deal with that town where the town gets a little bit of money per cable customer. That money funds things like community-access TV stations, staff and gear, studios at high schools, and so on, so you can watch the local sportsball team, or whatever boring town government meeting, and so on and so forth.

Those community-based things have taken a huge funding hit due to cord-cutting, so they (and towns) have been curious about whether something similar might be worked out for high-speed broadband on a per-customer basis. The local community-access station here has also started looking for sponsorships from local businesses and such, to make up the gap in funding.
