For Amazon, Fiber is Prime

Is your city fiber-friendly? Having fiber could make or break your city’s economic future with key development projects — just ask Amazon. Amazon recently announced its intentions to build a second headquarters, Hq2, outside its home base of Seattle, piquing the interests of cities all across the country. The new headquarters will bring in up to 50,000 well-paying jobs to whichever lucky city manages to land this tremendous development.

Here at the Fiber Broadband Association, we applaud Amazon’s wise choice to make optimal fiber connectivity a requirement for siting its second headquarters. No matter where Amazon chooses to build, we are glad that its headquarters will be fiber-ready.
