Government Technology: High-speed fiber optic internet is coming, but it might be slow to arrive.
The City Council recently signed a 30-year deal with SiFi Networks to install a "fiber to the home" network across Salem. Once built, the network will allow fiber-based internet service providers to sell their plans to Salem residents.
"We've been trying for years to woo in Verizon for Fios or other companies that can offer high-speed internet, and they haven't shown interest in doing that," said Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll.
