“Pardon me, boy, is that the cat who ate your new shoes?” Oh how we’ve longed to shoehorn that into Backbytes, and now we get our opportunity. In a rejoinder to the spirit of “If you build it, they will come”, Chattanooga Tennessee has just launched a $1,000 bounty for its missing geeks.
“Geeks are a furtive kind and can be difficult to track,” explains a video launching the Gig tank, a start-up venture kind of thing. If you recommend one of the future occupants, you get the cash.
One of the reasons to go to Chattanooga – about the only one, judging by the US press, though any Backbytes readers in the region might enlighten us – is that it is the first community in the western hemisphere with 1Gbit/s Ethernet for all residents and businesses in the area. Hang on: that’s “all residents in the area who want to spend $300 per month on broadband”.
So now you know what to do with your bounty.
