Stimulus Stories: Telecom veteran Evslin readies Vermont for Round 2 -- and Google

Tom Evslin, Vermont's Chief Technology Officer, is working to bring broadband to the small, northeastern state. That effort -- not to mention his deep industry experience -- has put him at the center of numerous efforts to help seed and speed that broadband deployment, including applying for funding via the federal broadband stimulus program, for similar federal funding in the area of smart grids, and even making an application to Google's closely-watched Fiber for Communities project.
