[JAMES CARLINI]

People are starting to realize that the network infrastructure is key to economic survival. Illinois has to move on this and not just hand out $100,000,000 checks to companies to try to keep them here. A $100,000,000 could have wired up Decatur with fiber to the premise for just about everyone. (based on Fort Wayne's / Verizon's investment several years ago of about $120,000,000 for a population of 250,000. Decatur is about 70,000)

Article written after my presentation in Decatur, IL. Monday:

Also spoke on their Talk Radio station on Tuesday (AM 1340 - WSOY)

 

Keep pushing Gigabit to the end-user.  That is the baseline speed we need (especially in handheld Smartphones).

 

I am available to speak if anyone is looking for a keynote speaker (Also speaking at the Windy City Summit (a Treasury Department conference) in June), speaking at the upcoming NECA Conference in Las Vegas in September, and Rhode Island in November.
