Connected Nation: No Bid for KY RFP

So Connected Nation opted not to submit a proposal in response to the Kentucky Commonwealth Office of Technology’s broadband mapping RFP.

Seems the Commonwealth is asking bidders to turn around a statewide map, uh, yesterday. Well, in two months, which is effectively the same thing. From the Connected Nation blog:

Kentucky’s RFP for broadband mapping calls for a submission of a substantially complete dataset by Nov. 1, 2009, a full three months earlier than the timeline laid out in the federal guidelines....Connected Nation’s wealth of experience in creating broadband maps shows that this timeline is simply unrealistic.

I'll take a look at the responses to the non-response soon.
