So, as someone with no knowledge of the landscape in Montana, I'm wondering: how many ISPs are there who would pick Montana state contracts over the ability to throttle and prioritize traffic?

One of our main telecoms (Blackfoot) is a co-op that rose from the ashes of Bell abandoning the state entirely, so definitely they would.

My friend made an app that lets you peek at the State Checkbook and see what ISP's are getting checks.

Looks like it's gone. The domain is for sale.

Whomp whomp. If I recall, it was Centurylink and Charter who got the biggest checks.
