Sherrod Brown press release
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) wrote to U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Gary Locke in support of the Ohio Middle Mile Consortium (OMMC) for the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP), funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
"If we want to promote economic development throughout Ohio, we need to ensure that all households can access the tools they need to become broadband proficient," Brown said. "With these funds, the Ohio Middle Mile Consortium (OMMC) would stimulate economic growth and improve the competitiveness of Ohio communities in underserved areas. We have an obligation to level the playing field for Ohio's workforce - it's an investment in the future of our state."
