Many people think broadband benefits local governments by making PCs, apps and systems run faster. But what happens when the process of governing accelerates into gig speed? In two months, Next Century Cities expects to find out. At the Broadband Communities Summit, cities were offered a $30,000 prize as a reward for creative thinking on using broadband to tackle local challenges. Next Century Cities announced their “Next Generation Engagement Awards” for three cities (up to $30,000 each) that propose projects or partnerships that enhance government operations. Next Century Cities’ Executive Director Deb Socia and Deputy Director Todd O’Boyle joined us to explain their program and what they hope to achieve. Beside cash, winning communities will also receive hands-on technical assistance from Next Century Cities to implement their plans and peer-to-peer connections with other innovative municipalities. Communities applying will be expected to demonstrate how, in addition to the award funding, they will contribute funds or use in-kind support, partner support, or a combination to ensure the project’s success. Applications will be accepted through June 15, 2016 and winners will be announced in late summer. Apply here.

We are at the point where we have scores of public highspeed networks delivering an array of benefits for businesses and consumers. Kansas City, the original Google Fiber network, weighs in their accomplishments and challenges as they push the gig envelope. Our Gigabit Nation guest is Aaron Deacon, Managing Director of KC Digital Drive, and a panelist on one of the Broadband Communities Summit sessions entitled “What can you do with a gig?” He believes many cities have answered this question with an array of applications and uses for highspeed Internet access, which leads to maybe a better question of "What are we going to do with a gig next?" Deacon delineates the difference between gigabit speed and gigabit capacity, a difference many communities need to understand early in there broadband planning. It’s also important that planners understand how to encourage a “highspeed environment” that enables community networks to transform the delivery of healthcare, energy, city services and more.  (Photo credit: Rachel Ellner, courtesy of Broadband Communities magazine)

36% of economic development pros say "it's quite likely" broadband can encourage entrepreneurship among underserved urban or rural individuals. Craig Settles' survey report cites another 14% have witnessed this personally. And over half say mentorships maximize broadband's benefits to startups and home-based businesses. Good news for Nashville, TN and other cities vying for Google Fiber.  Marcus Whitney, Co-Founder and CTO of the leading tech startup accelerator in the southeast, gives listeners his views on how Google Fiber can make a difference in the local economic scene. His Nashville-based Jumpstart Foundry has graduated 30 companies over the past five years. Whitney offers details on what specific steps local government and business leaders must take to ensure a broadband network leads to measurable success. Training in business management and using technology also are addressed. Communities cannot expect that merely having a network improves economies. Whitney and Settles explore how some of his other findings relate to Nashville and its broadband needs. Settles will release the full survey report April 9 during a keynote presentation at the Broadband Communities Summit along with Bill Sproull, Chair of the Board of Directors of the International Economic Development Council, sponsor of the report.
