Fast Internet Is Chattanooga's New Locomotive

http://j.mp/1fsbTEH  (New York Times)

    Gig City," as Chattanooga is sometimes called, has what city officials
    and analysts say was the first and fastest - and now one of the least
    expensive - high-speed Internet services in the United States. For
    less than $70 a month, consumers enjoy an ultrahigh-speed fiber-optic
    connection that transfers data at one gigabit per second. That is 50
    times the average speed for homes in the rest of the country, and just
    as rapid as service in Hong Kong, which has the fastest Internet in
    the world.

And who built this? AT&T? Comcast? Time Warner Cable? Verizon?
Uh, no.
