These are the types of stories that become the norm when local control is stripped away. While we are in support of the technology, we are also in support of cities and its constituents having a voice in this matter. #localcontrol #5G #smallcell smartworkspartners.com/single-post/as…

Reliable, statewide #broadband is becoming more of the norm as MN joins the coalition of states that are prioritizing this much needed #infrastructure for their constituents. Which other states will follow suit? smartworkspartners.com/single-post/mi…
