Reardon to speak about gigabit topic at conference

Former Kansas City, Kan., Mayor Joe Reardon will speak March 10 at the NTCA Rural Broadband Meeting and Expo in Phoenix, Ariz.

Reardon, who was instrumental in Kansas City, Kan., becoming the first city to add Google gigabit service, is part of a panel discussion on “Delivering Gigabit Service to Your Community.”

The panel members will discuss the similarities and differences of large and small gigabit communities.

NTCA, the Rural Broadband Association, represents 900 independent, community-based telecommunications companies that are leading innovation in rural and small-town America.

Reardon was recently named the CEO of the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority, where he will begin in mid-March.
