The Pitch on Wicked Fiber

Today Pitch Weekly published a comprehensive piece about Wicked Broadband's initiative to bring fiber to Lawrence.

It accurately describes Wicked's proposal and exposes the lack of experience and past failures of RG Fiber founder Mike Bosch.

It is nice to finally see an independent and comprehensive story.

Two ultra-small startups duel to sell ultra-fast broadband in Lawrence.

Basic Service - $399.79 (Save $79.76)

Advanced/Rural Service - $499.80 (Save $99.96)

Our Own Kris Adair

I am very proud of my wife and co-owner Kris Adair for standing up for local entrepreneurs and startups here in Lawrence.

Her idea to re-focus our economic development spending on entrepreneurship and startups appears to have legs.  The EDC is implementing it and I couldn't be more supportive.

If you care about building a future for Lawrence that includes local companies and opportunities for entrepreneurship, you should take a look.

Gigabit in Lawrence's North West

Today we put up a gigabit hotspot at EATS restaurant at 6th & Fireside Ct. in Lawrence. EATS is inside the Miller Mart where Basil Cafe used to be before they moved to 9th St.

The site has both a 802.11ac hotspot and a wired wall port for you to plug your laptop into. The speedtest below is from the 802.11ac WiFi hotspot.

If you think Internet service like this would benefit your business or give you an edge while gaming at home, please join us at City Hall on September 9 at 6:30 PM to let your elected officials know.
