"City, MU join group seeking ultrafast Internet," Columbia Tribune, July 27, 2011.
It has been four months since Columbia learned Google would build its high-speed broadband network elsewhere. But the city and the University of Missouri haven’t given up on the idea of securing a network boasting speeds scores of times faster than what is available today.
Mentioned later in the article is Technology Testing Center Manger Keith Politte:
Keith Politte of the Reynolds Journalism Institute at MU said many of the members who joined the effort are college towns that also attempted to woo Google.
“If you look globally, the U.S. needs to step up because there are many other countries around the world where this kind of high-speed broadband is just assumed,” he said.
