New Jobs by Building Broadband

Bill Gillies writes:

“… for every $5 billion invested in broadband infrastructure to create [high-speed internet] networks, 97,500 new jobs in the telecommunications, computer and IT sectors will be created.”

Turns out the U.S. now “ranks 28th in the world in average Internet connection speed and is not making significant progress in building a faster network.”  I’m hopeful that we will turn this around soon.
