Bozeman officials and businesses explore fiber optic options

Bozeman is taking a look at its Broadband capabilities and what they might need for the future.

According to city officials, Bozeman’s home to more than 100 technology firms and is a major technology center in the northern Rockies.

City officials say they want to be able to support high-tech businesses and understand it takes a robust fiber optic network to do it.

That’s why they’re taking a closer look at fiber optic networks.
