Boulder names broadband partnerCitywide high-speed internet is finally coming to Boulder after city council unanimously approved an agreement with ALLO Communications on Nov. 21. Boulder has been working to make municipal broadband service a reality since 2018 when it approved $20 million to construct 65 miles of fiber optics throughout the city. Nearly 10% of Boulder residences meet these requirements, according to Boulder’s deputy director of innovation and technology Mike Giansanti. In comparison, Longmont’s municipally owned NextLight internet service costs residents $70 for 1G service. Boulder needs to curb annual emissions by 7% on average to reach its 2030 goal of a 70% reduction.
