1. Municipal Planning: Including Smart City Apps
Background
Feasibility Studies, Strategic Planning
Today I’m talking about Including Smart City Applications in your broadband plan
Work in Rural areas of the state
AND in Urban and Suburban communities
Isn’t just for Urban areas; although in some cases, more urban areas might have more complex problems than rural areas (traffic, parking, congestion, pollution)….
This applies to Rural areas too.
