Utah Guv touts connecting world via broadband

Utah’s governor on Thursday likened the fiber-optic network development being done in the state and in other spots in the world to other great infrastructure projects of the past.

Speaking during a networking open house at the International Network of e-Communities’ annual meeting, Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. said the building of broadband networks is akin to building the intercontinental railroad, as both have the goal of connecting people from different regions.
