The USDA's Community Connect program has invested $160 million in more than 240 projects to bring broadband to unserved rural communities since 2002. The USDA announced yesterday it is soliciting applications for grants to establish broadband in unserved rural communities through its Community Connect program. It is administered by USDA's Rural Utilities Service and helps to fund broadband deployment into rural communities where it is not economically viable for private sector providers to provide service. http://www.cedmagazine.com/ -or- http://tinyurl.com/zdkof3w Neal McLain ------------------------------ Message-ID: <nf4g0g$88b$1@dont-email.me> Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2016 00:36:32 -0500 From: Dave Garland <dave.garland@wizinfo.com> Subject: Re: How hackers eavesdropped on a US Congressman using only his phone number On 4/18/2016 10:52 PM, Monty Solomon wrote: >http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/04/how-hackers-eavesdropped-on-a-us-congressman-using-only-his-phone-number/ > Don't miss the comments. Several are by telco workers, basically saying "sure, I could do that too, it's not a hack, it's working as designed". ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Thu, 21 Apr 2016
