Public CEO — Harnessing the Potential of the Gigabit City

It’s been an eventful month for the Internet in America. President Obama traveled to Cedar Falls, IA, and publicly supported a city’s right to build its own high-speed Internet infrastructure. Meanwhile, a coalition of local leaders from across the country gathered in Kansas City, MO, for the 2015 Gigabit City Summit. Representatives from dozens of cities as well as from partners like Code for America, Cox and Mozilla came together to discuss key questions: What can an American city do with Internet speeds of 1 gigabit, 100 times faster than today’s average? How can a city make sure all citizens, businesses and schools benefit from these advancements? How can gigabit connectivity drive regional economic development?
