Gig-ecticut Is Coming

The number one lesson with infrastructure is build more than you think you need. If you don't, you spend forever catching up. In Connecticut, this is especially true about mass transit. It's also true of our digital infrastructure. Connecticut is hitting off the back tees because of short-sightedness during the 90's. We didn't create the kind of tech hubs that could capture the explosive economic activity of the first digital revolution. But, there have been other ways and the latest has to do with building internet systems with ultra-fast carrying capacities. The US is behind the rest of the world in this regard and Connecticut is a little bit behind other places. But, we might be getting ready to sprint forward.
