I just gave a small donation to his campaign fund. You can donate here: http://mcginnformayor.com. Wish there was a place on the donation to tell them why you're donating.

I really hope that more mayors (especially NYC where I live) make this a focus of their campaign. So sick of the cable company monopolies.

Thanks for the link. Yes I really wish that any of the mayoral candidates in Boston (where I live) would make gigabit Internet a priority rather than just being "tough on crime".

While as a Bostonian I would love gigabit, I do think that fighting crime remains a substantial priority in this city. It's not totally backwards, but there's room to improve.

Indeed, I generally think that there are many priorities a mayoral candidate for this city should have, and alas, super-speed internet access is not at the top of that list. Gigabit is a problem ranking far under crime, poverty, and infrastructural issues in Boston.
