ALBANY – Fifteen dollars a month.

ALBANY Mayor Kathy Sheehan is creating a five-person Commission on Municipal Internet Service to look at the feasibility of creating a city-owned high-speed internet service that would compete with Spectrum and other internet carriers available to city residents.
The proposed service would model itself on the municipal internet service offered by Chattanooga, Tenn. that offers residents internet service that reaches download speeds of one gigabyte per second for $67.99. Chattanooga s municipal internet has made the city into one of the most technologically-advanced cities in the country, with an estimated $2.7 billion in economic benefits to the city over the past decade.
