Accelerating technology innovations such as ubiquitous sensors, cheap computing power, and 5G networks will open entirely new opportunities and challenges.

To be sure, technology will change what we do. Tasks that are highly manual, routine, and predictable will be automated. But jobs are made up of many tasks. So the nature of existing jobs will change, and new careers will be created.

Municipal networks expand economic opportunities. We've got to open new doors, not slam them shut.

What new technology does is create new opportunities to do a job that customers want done.

Many great opportunities are not cheap; but some cheap opportunities are so great.

Change is the end of something you know and the beginning of something else that you don't know. Something new that holds opportunities.
