Yes! A FAB plan and needed everywhere. Europe is kilometers ahead on this score already and we are falling behind.

Fantastic idea! All we’ll need is a banner proclaiming the new Decatur Festival for Fast Internet. Then everyone can proceed wandering around the square staring at their phones and looking at their phones while having dinner. Cheapest festival ever.

If there are solutions out there that are faster than Google, then doesn’t the city have a responsibility to solicit proposals from the competition. If this is a service I will eventually have to pay $70 to $120 or more for, and/or if the city’s deal with Google prevents any kind of competition, then a full blown RFP should be in order.
