Member Membership Meeting Notes January 20, 2011 Meeting
The January 20 meeting featured a presentation on broadband/fiber adoption. High-speed broadband has become as vital to many technology businesses as qualified staff. Broadband enables us to collaborate with each other, access tools, market ourselves and keep tabs on the competition. As more and more of our work migrates to the cloud and service-based offerings, the importance of high quality and scalable internet connections is growing. Fiber broadband represents the apex of reliable, scalable internet access, and it offers many advantages over other broadband technologies. In fact it's already a key enabler for many businesses in the Lansing region, including ISPs and other business which rely on next generation-broadband access.
