Senator Perry to Present "Hermon
Net" Bill Thursday
Hermon.net provides residents with community
network, high-speed Internet, and educational opportunities
Augusta--Senator Joe Perry, D-Penobscot County,
Thursday, will present a bill to the Utilities and
Energy Committee that would encourage communities
across Maine to develop low-cost community networks
modeled after Hermon, Maine's successful Hermon.net
network.
This bill establishes the Education and Municipal
Technology Advisory Committee to aid in the development
and maintenance of community networks by municipalities
and schools within those municipalities working in
partnership. Under the bill, a community network
is a computer system within a municipality that provides
free or low-cost access to information and services
through a centrally managed network or intranet or
Internet connection or any combination of network
and connections.
