In June, Columbus, Ohio, was named Intelligent Community of the Year by the Intelligent Communities Forum (ICF), an organization that promotes using technology to boost economic success and tackle social challenges. A three-time finalist in the global award program, Columbus earned the top ranking in 2015 on the strength of a solid broadband infrastructure and effective collaboration among the city government, research institutions and private businesses.

Columbus CIO Gary Cavin says broadband Internet access is a cornerstone of his city's success. He talked about the importance of high-speed access and how Columbus is preparing for the Internet of Things in this interview from Government Technology's Ohio Digital Government Summit last week.
