A Minnesota state lawmaker accused the state of not doing enough to further high-speed broadband access, and plans a listening tour throughout the state early this month. State Sen. Matt Schmit, a member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, scheduled his first session with residents for 3 p.m. Monday at the North Branch Regional Library in North Branch, Minn., and continues at stops through Jan. 10, according to a news release Thursday (http://bit.ly/1bCfpJ9). “There’s been a lot of talk, but very little action,” Schmit said in a statement. “Despite a great deal of philanthropic activity and admirable work by our local providers and co-ops, our statewide infrastructure investments aren’t keeping pace and we're lagging increasingly behind the curve.” The meetings will help set the 2014 legislative agenda on broadband, his office said.
