  • The approval aims to widen high-speed internet choice as more households depend on reliable connections for work, education, entertainment and daily communication.
  • GoNetspeed must secure required permits, follow local, state and federal rules, meet safety standards and restore any public infrastructure affected by installation.
  • Mayor Raymond A. Giacobbe said the added service option should give users more flexibility in choosing a provider and support the city’s long-term connectivity needs.
