The Luxury of a Bottomless Bucket of Bandwidth For Georgia Schools

Lemeowski writes: The IT departments at all the University System of Georgia institutions have a luxury that most CIOs could only dream of — access to about 2,800 miles of free fiber and a private cloud that they an always count on. The private cloud configuration allows the perk of not focusing on bandwith. "Our local CIOs even take some pleasure in telling telecom company representatives, 'If you can beat free, then I'm willing to listen.' That tends to shut down most conversations,"writes USG CIO Curt Carver, who explains how the technology is now becoming an educational equalizer across the state. In 2015, Georgia school districts are expected to have a 33-fold increase in bandwdith available to them through the program. "This will help to flatten the state. No more haves or have-nots in terms of bandwidth going into the school districts."

Dupe of Story from 1860

This is just a dupe of a story from 1860 with a few minor details changed. Here's the original:

"The Luxury of a Bottomless Bucket of Labor For Georgia Plantation Owners"

The Cotton Plantations across Georgia have a luxury that most Oligarchs could only dream of â" access to about 2,800,000 slaves and a private labor ownership that they an always count on. The private labor configuration allows the perk of not focusing on wages. "Our local overseers even take some pleasure in telling pesky northern labor representatives, 'If you can beat free, then I'm willing to listen.' That tends to shut down most conversations," writes Slave Management Specialist Curt Carver, who explains how the free labor is now becoming an educational equalizer across the South. In 1861, Georgia school districts are expected to have a 33-fold increase in free labor available to them through selective breeding. "This will help to flatten the state. No more haves or have-nots in terms of labor going into the cotton fields."
