City of Seattle sues Gigabit Squared for $50K in unpaid bills

The city of Seattle is suing Gigabit Squared for more than $50,000 in unpaid bills for services the city completed before the deal with the broadband company was declared dead in January.

City employees conducted research on the city’s fiber availability, but Gigabit Squared never took action on its half of the deal. The lawsuit indicates that Gigabit Squared has dissolved and is no longer a company. The city is seeking $52,250 in unpaid bills for research and reports city employees put together, plus related legal fees.
