The Fiber Race

 Google Fiber is coming to Provo this month. I'm pretty stoked and many of my friends outside of Provo are jealous.  Almost as exciting is that AT&T is finally taking notice. The race for fiber internet is finally heating up, even if it's only in a few cities so far.  Improvements to network infrastructure are going to be essential to an increasingly online world.  In the 90's most homes would have maybe one computer.  Now most people have a computer, a smart phone, and a tablet on top of that.  Internet connectivity is expected everywhere and we expect it to be fast.  The continued growth of internet wielding technologies is dependent on a quick and stable network.  I'm hopeful that service providers and communication giants will realize where the future is, and if they want to have a horse in the race they'll need to start improving network infrastructure everywhere.
