The Vermont Senate has advanced a bill designed to expand broadband Internet and cellular phone service in the state. Senate action came on a voice vote on a bill that would speed permitting for communications facilities in the state. Sen. Vincent Illuzzi, a key sponsor of the bill, says that between federal and state money and private-sector investment, the bill should trigger $400 million in telecommunications investment in the next few years.
