Los Angeles wants a citywide gigabit fiber network

Google Fiber is helping make cities like Kansas City and Provo attractive places for tech entrepreneurs.

Now Los Angeles wants to bolster its image as a tech-friendly city by building a gigabit fiber broadband network (super-fast Internet) that would connect to all of its 3.5 million-plus residents, along with every business and government entity inside L.A.’s city limits. There would be no cost for Internet service using 2-5 Mbps and the costs would scale up from there. Ars Technica reports that the city is planning to release a request for proposals next month seeking a company to take on the project.
