Coram sponsoring bill to direct money to service providers
By Marianne Goodland As originally reported by Colorado Politics
This week, the Colorado Senate will begin reviewing a bill that state Sen. Don Coram of Montrose hopes will solve the years-long debate about how to ensure broadband reaches the rural areas of Colorado, or at least how to pay for it.
Coram is one of two primary sponsors of Senate Bill 2, which directs the dollars from a telecommunications fund, around $37 million, to providers who can help wire rural Colorado for high-speed broadband.
