nstitute (ULI) Council Member and TBG President, Tom Reiman, discusses the importance of Gigabit in modern communities.
“This is an overnight revolution, a giant leap forward,” says Tom Reiman, president of the network planning and consulting firm The Broadband Group and a member of ULI’s Community Development Council (Gold Flight). “For real estate, technology can become part of the culture of community development, and normally it has not been.”
So the gig is generating buzz. It is the cool new thing-the latest “gotta have it” technology. Cities large and small are trying to boost their appeal with it. Real estate developers are making some project location decisions based on it. And managers of some commercial properties are adding it to improve retention rates.
