"Pioneer Valley also a digital marketplace." This is the lead headline in the Oct. 9 Hampshire Gazette (by Nick Grabbe). The article, which is mainly about Hidden Tech, talks about all the creative and intellectual types hidden away in the valley using technology to do their cutting edge work. It does not however mention that while we may have creative and intellectual resources, more than 30 towns in the Valley lack the basic telecom infrastructure necessary to do this stuff. Instead we cluster in the few towns that do have broadband, struggle with mediocre satellite connections, or pay $500+ per month for T1s. Please take a minute to send a letter to the editor explaining how, if next generation sustainable economic development is what you're after, serious telecom infrastructure issues must be addressed (Please also mention SLBC): www.dailyhampshiregazette.com/letters/ --- Aron P.
