Building for the Future
After watching the series of GOP debates leading up to last week’s Iowa caucuses, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman questions the lack of talk about building out America’s digital infrastructure:
[T]he critical questions for America today have to be how we deploy more ultra-high-speed networks and applications in university towns to invent more high-value-added services and manufactured goods and how we educate more workers to do these jobs — the only way we can maintain a middle class.
I just don’t remember any candidate being asked in those really entertaining G.O.P. debates: “How do you think smart cities can become the job engines of the future, and what is your plan to ensure that America has a strategic bandwidth advantage?”
