What Cities Can Do to Get Gigabit-Ready – "It is easier to create the future rather than predict the future"

In a virtual summit, Google’s Milo Medin challenged cities to do their part to attract high-speed broadband providers.

At yesterday’s keynote for a virtual summit titled ‘Innovation for the Nation" directed towards state and local government employees, Google’s Milo Medin, VP of Access Services, told municipalities that they can attract a gigabit fiber service if they want it.
