>> There is a good chance that businesses moved to Louisville because of Google Fiber
It would be astonishing if the total number of businesses for which that's true is more than two. I can't imagine what sort of company would base a decision to move to Louisville on the availability of a Google Fiber Internet connection, nor can I imagine how the loss of Google Fiber would be any kind of serious problem (there are other ways to connect to the Internet in Louisville).
- scrumbledober 8y agobusinesses may not move to the location for the google fiber themselves, but it certainly makes Louisville a more attractive place to move for developers, and a good population of developers is certainly enough to get companies moving to an area.
- WaltPurvis 8y ago>>it certainly makes Louisville a more attractive place to move for developers I suppose it might be one small factor a developer might put on the "pros" side if her list when deciding where to live, but it's surely a very small factor. Would anyone seriously choose a city to live in based on a marginally faster or cheaper Internet connection? I find it difficult to believe, but maybe it's true for some.
