I don’t want to talk about the fact that in the United States what we pay for internet connectivity is 2.5 times what a similar service in the UK costs and almost 7 times what we would pay in South Korea or about the fact that our internet is ranked 31st in global speed ratings.
What I want to talk about briefly is our responsibility to make the best use of the “connectivity” resources in Tacoma to insure their availability for our hospitals, schools, businesses and the people that are living and working here now and to manage these resources so that they are available for the businesses that we want to grow here in the future.
