UMaine Gig.U Collaboration Widely Reported

The Network World website posted an article about the Gig.U high-speed fiber network collaboration involving the University of Maine, GWI and Gig.U, a national initiative that includes 37 leading research institutions in the United States. The collaboration will mean Maine communities, starting in the Orono-Old Town area, will have commercial and residential access to the Internet that is as fast as any in the world. Reports on the project also appeared in the Bangor Daily News, Channel 5, (WABI) and Channel 7 (WVII).
