More infrastructure stories (not just roads this week)

An aspect of infrastructure I haven't devoted very much time to yet is telecommunications. This link goes to Reuters coverage of Apple rejecting Google's voice app for the iPhone. Beyond the instance of this particular application, the story is an example of a larger trend in the telecommunications industry. The story said how the FCC responds in this case "could either pave the way for new entrants or hinder their ability to use large carriers' phones to offer discount services."

Another story from the past week comes from The Daily Evergreen. It covered the debate about a proposed wind ordinance. Wind forms have the potential to be new sources of energy and also tax revenue.
