Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, praised the town government in Rockport, Maine, Monday for opening its municipal-owned gigabit fiber network. The network -- a partnership among the town, ISP GWI, Maine Media Workshops and College, and Networkmaine -- is already in operation but the partnering groups held a ceremony Monday to officially launch the project. “Rockport ... has taken a significant step forward in ensuring that it is well-positioned to utilize and enjoy the many benefits of this tremendous new technology,” King said in a news release (http://1.usa.gov/1oY6psw).
