What to Do with the State System
LIMIT ACCESS: Telephone companies and Internet service providers, worried about losing potential customers, argue that only students and teachers at schools should have access to the ICN. Governor Terry Branstad has vetoed the strategy. PRIVATIZE: Iowa could turn ICN into an independent utility that would sell its telecom services to schools as well as consumers and corporations. The state legislature is studying the idea. SELL IT OFF: The $300 million network could be sold whole or in pieces to telephone companies such as U S West or AT&T. The state likely
wouldn't recoup its investment, though.
