Martinsville's diamond ring

With a mature fiber system already in place, Martinsville is far ahead of many other municipalities, but a study by the Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR) released on Jan. 18, shows a dramatic surge over the past three years in the number of communities that are building public-owned, locally controlled high-speed internet infrastructure. Unlike Martinsville, they are going head-to-head in competition with traditional internet service providers.
