The Philadelphia Inquirer reports, “The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is hiring law firms and financial consultants to advise how to ‘design, build, finance, operate and maintain a fiber network’ for state broadband Internet data and voice calls, and to deliver ‘a wire mesh overlay and market and lease excess network capacity’ to private users along its 550-mile toll road system.

Maybe self-driving vehicles, too?” Click here for RFP information. Click here to read a related turnpike commission news release.
