The Legislative Study Committee that is studying the Kan-ed service has reportedly received the outline of a plan that would is reported to “…essentially merge the Kan-ed and KanREN broadband networks and create a sliding-scale payment structure that could mean new connectivity fees for libraries, hospitals and other users of the Kan-ed network.”
It is also reported that the plan suggests that approximately 6% of Kan-ed members use the Kan-ed Internet service so seldom that they could readily be disconnected from the service. The news report is available at http://www.khi.org/news/2011/oct/27/lawmakers-receive-outline-meshing-kan-ed-kan-ren/
