Lincoln Buys a Lottery Ticket

By: Mr. Wilson on March 19, 2010
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?

How can we compete with Google, Kansas?

If that tactic actually works, that gives me an idea.  Maybe Lincoln can temporarily become “Costco/P.F. Chang’s/Cheesecake Factory, NE”
