Next up: Oklahoma, New York, and California. When it comes to articulating a state broadband policy, many in Minnesota are aiming high – or at least very, very fast. In April 2008, the Minnesota legislature passed a bill to create an Ultra High-Speed Broadband Task Force. The bill was signed by Gov. Tim Pawlenty and, last month, he named 20 of the 26 task force members.
