Idaho state schools Superintendent Tom Luna has awarded a multimillion-dollar wireless contract to Education Networks of America, choosing the Nashville, Tenn. firm to provide WiFi in every Idaho high school for up to the next 15 years; the contract could cost the state up to $33.3 million over that time. "Wireless internet access is a critical component of the 21st century classroom so teachers can integrate the technology they need in the classroom," Luna said in a statement; you can read his full statement here.

Luna said ENA's bid "came in under budget at $2,111,655 per year." The initial term of the contract is five years; the state would pay $10.56 million over that time. If both five-year extensions are given, and both price increases of up to 5 percent for the second and third five-year periods, the state's total cost over the 15 years would be $33,284,962.
