In a study of Iowa City, which introduced a muni fiber network in 199? -
in comparison to the next city over that was doing better but did not
install fiber -
housing rates increased in IC
tax base went up
large biz came to town
average per capita went up
Court reporters; medical transcriptionists; virtaul assistants; voice
over people; architects; programmers - all need broadband. And they
would like to live in better America. That's how BB improves the economy.
All from BB Properties mag. in 2005.

Hi,
Can someone explain to me how having broadband (instead of dial-up
internet that EVERYONE can get) is going to create 61,000 jobs per
year for the next 20 years? If it will create jobs from people doing
more online, then it will decrease jobs from the brick and mortar
businesses going out of business. Am I missing something?
