Broadband panel reaches first point of agreement: No repeat of IEN

After hours of discussion and debate, the Legislature’s Broadband Access Study Committee has agreed on one point with a unanimous vote: It doesn’t want to repeat the defunct Idaho Education Network. Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls, proposed the motion, to “move away from a statewide system that mirrors the previous system.” His motion passed unanimously.
