If businesses are going to come to Ohio, with jobs in tow, they’re going to want access to high speed Internet.
A report by the national think tank NDN looked specifically at wireless broadband, examining communities that recently saw increases in network speeds. The study notes that communities that saw this increase then saw an increase in employment the following quarter.
According to the study, the shift from 2G to 3G networks between 2007 and 2011 helped bring about 1.6 million jobs nationwide.
The study estimates that communities investing in 4G networks will see more than 231,000 jobs in one year.
