  • Cumberland: Connected & on the Go; Broadband Goes Wireless, Report of the FCC Wireless Broadband Access Task Force, p. 33 Feb. 2005: "For instance, local leaders in Cumberland, Maryland, a small city located three hours outside Washington, D.C., in the mountains between West Virginia, and southwestern Pennsylvania, recognized that a lack of affordable broadband was hindering the evolution of the economy from smokestack industries to the service and technology sectors. The leaders concluded that commercial service providers did not believe that sufficient demand existed to justify the costs of deploying a traditional network infrastructure to the area. Accordingly, the City of Cumberland, surrounding Allegany County, the local school board, and public libraries, decided to form AllCoNet, a non-profit joint venture to provide their citizens with broadband service.102 Given the local geography and topography, deploying wireline facilities would have been far beyond the financial resources available, and would have taken years. By deploying wireless access points (supplied by Alvarion) on the mountains surrounding Cumberland, AllCoNet was able to quickly deploy broadband service, and now provides a level of service that was unavailable or cost prohibitive before to area schools, libraries, government buildings, residents, and businesses."
