If the goal is to "bring high-speed internet to all corners of Maryland", then Chromebooks won't solve the problem. Much of Maryland has either zero broadband providers or one extremely expensive one.
We do have a Maryland Emergency Broadband Benefit Program, but $15/month isn't going to make much of an inroads on a $100+/month bill.
Rural places often have no broadband at all. We have an office trying to solve that over the next three years, but even that's not going to help if the price is over $100 per month.
