Dear Friammers,
Here is some clarification from Sean Moody, who was one of the people who organized the City Gigabit Thing. (Note my deft use of technical jargon, here!). See below for details. Please get in touch with Sean if you see any possibilities for yourself in this new arrangement. He is an old, old friend of mine and would, I am sure, do his best to help. I wonder how this relates to State Offices? Given that they are scattered all over Town, wiring the state might go a long way toward wiring the rest of us? Nick Nicholas S.

We set up a demonstration of gigabit wi-fi for the event, and are leaving it up for the time being in the second floor lobby of Market Station. Please let your colleagues know. They can reach me by this email address or at my office number below. Details on the collaboration space the Mayor announced have yet to be worked out. In the meantime we would welcome any bona fide proposal. Regarding future expansion of the network, we do have specific, limited plans to extend open-access middle-mile fiber to libraries and existing network hubs, and can install line extensions to anyone willing to pay the capital cost. But a Chattanooga-style, universal fiber-to-the-premise scheme is not under consideration. Thanks.
