Yeah, these endless studies cost a lot of money. It's such a laugh, these people want study after study, then when Abercrombie approved a study to link the state's computers and networks better, $11 million when it got shut off the other day, then the same people go psychotic, "OMG, the cost of worthless studies, what a waste!".
Why is this topic even a question that needs legislative action (at more taxpayer expense)? Utility fiber optic monitoring of the power lines providing rural internet access is all over the mainland. Why is there a study or report necessary? Aren't there already dozens of these studies, reports and actions available online? Oh wait, you have to be online to get those... The point is this is being done by cooperation between the PUC (PUD on the mainland) and the utility. This isn't something that needs legislation to happen. The PUC is there for the public. If the public can't figure out how to make requests to the PUC, then that is the fault of the public.
