In the process of researching our forthcoming Smart Cities Readiness Guide, we learned about the importance of high-speed fiber-optic networks. To quote this useful article from Governing Magazine, "a fiber-optic network can be 200 times faster than cable and has the potential to trigger a new generation of economic development."

I would add this: If you do NOT get a fiber backbone for your city, it may well trigger a new generation of economic distress. Quoting once again: "Fiber networks are seen by many as one of the most important infrastructure developments of the 21st century."
