Arkansas Hopes to Hop Aboard LambdaRail

With a special election on a $250-million higher-education bond fast approaching, college officials in Arkansas are pointing to the promise of the National LambdaRail, a high-speed research network,  in an effort to secure votes. The bond would provide money  to connect all of Arkansas’ public institutions to the network, which is being laid across the country—and which could have a transformative effect on the state’s economy, officials argue.
