I sure wish I know who in Santa Fe to send this to: And that brings me back to Chattanooga, where, Mayor Ron Littlefield says, city elders looked themselves in the eyes 15 years ago and realized that “we were a dilapidated city going the way of the Rust Belt.” But, by coming together to make the city an attractive place to live and getting both parties to agree to invest in a fiber-to-every-home-and-business network in a 600-square-mile area, Chattanooga replaced its belching smokestacks with an Amazon.com fulfillment center, major health care and insurance companies and a beehive of tech start-ups that all thrive on big data and super-high-speed Internet
This is amazing: How fast is that Chattanooga choo-choo? The majority of Chattanooga homes and businesses get 50 megabits per second, some 100 megabits, a few 250 and those with big needs opt for a full gigabit per second I'm lucky to get 1.5 down, .5 up. -- Owen On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 5:57 PM, David Breecker (dba) < [email protected]> wrote: > And related economic points of interest: > > > http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/21/opinion/friedman-obamas-moment.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_20121121 > > dba | David Breecker Associates, Inc. > Santa Fe: 505-690-2335 > Abiquiu: 505-685-4891 > www.BreeckerAssociates.com <http://www.breeckerassociates.com/> > > > _______________________________________________ > 1st-mile-nm mailing list > [email protected] > http://www2.dcn.org/mailman/listinfo/1st-mile-nm > >
