Abstract:
In the summer of 2013, Wilson will begin providing one of the fastest internet services in the country through Greenlight, a municipal-owned fiber optic network. There are only forty-two communities in fourteen states across the country that offer fiber optic connectivity, and North Carolina has two of them--Wilson and Salisbury.

Abstract:
After the city of Wilson created its own fiber Internet service in 2008, the city sought to expand this service throughout Wilson County. This system threatened large telecoms, like Time Warner Cable, that do not want the competition. The state of North Carolina, however, recently passed laws that require municipal telecoms to pay the same fee as private telecoms, like Suddenlink and Time Warner, effectively making it nearly impossible for other cities to create their own broadband network.
