Here's an idea for gigabit Internet in Austin!
We have a lot of diversity in broadband installation/usage that other cities want to learn about
Austin presents the best small town / big city test bed that allows for a much more customized marketing approach to future cities. To push it on to major cities you can show invaluable data about how you handled high-density towers in Austin. To push it on to college towns you can show coodrination efforts with UT Austin. To push it on to cities with rivers, cities with hills, cities with mixed housing, etc. Austin has a lot of diversity in broadband installation and usage that many other cities might want to learn about. Plus we are a pretty large tech city with many Google advocates here.
