Lincoln Buys a Lottery Ticket

March 19, 2010 at 8:35am By: Mr. Wilson Posted in The Lincolnite Blog

It’s a far less sexy entry into the Google broadband sweepstakes than some cities have taken, but yesterday Mayor Chris Beutler formally announced Lincoln’s efforts to bring the Google Fiber for Communities program to town. What could Lincoln do with gigabit-per-second internet speeds? (I mean after the two-week drop in productivity immediately after the fiber arrives as everybody plays around with their new toy.) It’s fun to think about, isn’t it?
