The City of Saint Paul recognizes the importance of broadband accessibility to the future of our city and currently has a study underway to help officials chart a course of action. Springsted Inc has been hired to conduct a Broadband Technology Needs Assessment & Economic Development Impact Study (BITS) for Saint Paul. This study will examine Saint Paul?s broadband technology needs from four perspectives: businesses, residents, education and City operations. BITS will provide recommendations and at least three operational models for the City to consider. The final report by Springsted will be completed by April 21, 2006.
