Big Turnout for Broadband, ISP Records, Pro Bowl Bills

By /
They’ve set up chairs and rolled out a TV so that folks can follow what’s going on in Conference Room 312, which is packed.

The agenda is a long one for House Economic Revitalization and Business, and includes measures to create a Hawaii Sports Task Force to coordinate efforts to keep the Pro Bowl in Hawaii — and maybe attract regular season NFL games, too.

There is also a bill to issue a special purpose revenue bond to develop broadband infrastructure, and another requiring ISP’s to keep consumer records for no less than two years. IT whizzes Sonny Bhagowalia and Gordon Bruce are on hand.
