A Gigabit Garden Begins to Grow

Lessons from the First Planting

Let’s start with a
question.

Is the wireline
network that serves your community good enough to meet your
needs 10 years from now?

If the answer is "yes", you’re in luck. Because we can guarantee you will be able to have that network.

If the answer is "no", then the question is: what are you going to do about it?

Because if current trends continue, what your community has today might well be what it has a decade hence.

The purpose of this Gig.U Fall Update is to review the lessons from those pioneering communities that sought to be among the first with world-leading broadband networks.
We’ll start with a review of what prompted communities to act,
a summary of where they are now, a review of common strategies Gig.U communities followed and conclude with an outline of lessons learned.
