Establish Public Broadband in Cities in New Mexico

New Mexico will grant cities the ability to use bond funds to establish publicly owned broadband internet.

Why is this important?

Municipal high-speed broadband has energized municipal areas such a Chattanooga. Albuquerque was on the verge of developing this resource when Comcast backed Mayor Berry and all efforts were cancelled.

Establishing speeds of gigabit and 100 gigabit speeds has helped to revitalize the economies that have adopted it around the world. We need to develop this in Albuquerque.
