Mo. House Panel Clears Broadband Task Force Bill
The Missouri House Utilities Committee voted 9-0 for a broadband bill (HB-2052) Wednesday that would set up a 12-year task force to evaluate the status of access, affordability and speed, monitor deployment and make recommendations. As during the panel’s Jan. 26 hearing, some members grumbled about the actual usefulness of task forces (see 2201260015).
