Keith Marzulo, Director of the CISE Division of Computer and Network Systems (CNS) at the National Science Foundation (NSF) discusses US Ignite and the benefits of gigabit technologies for the kick-off of the Mozilla Gigabit Community Fund in Kansas City.

We’re especially excited about the Kansas City learning Hive that Mozilla will be catalyzing since it offers the opportunity of citizen engagement in the process of developing and trying out new approaches to local and national problems. And by connecting with a partner city of Chattanooga, we will be able to establish a community of practice and demonstrate for the nation the potential of these ultra high-speed networks.
