Last week I was I was asked to judge the videos for the Gigabit town competition on behalf of The Icehouse. (Where I’s a Business Coach & Executive in Residence)
What is Gigatown?
Its a competition run by Chorus where businesses and towns compete to become a ‘Gigatown’.
To quote their website (www.gigatown.co.nz):
Gigatown can be the most connected, gig-savvy town in the Southern hemisphere with access to a one gigabit per second (1Gbps) internet connection.
How do we decide who gets to be Gigatown? Actually, we don’t decide – you do.
We’re looking for the town that wants it the most. There are two ways we’ll be measuring that drive, enthusiasm and determination to be Gigatown:
1. by listening out for the town with the loudest voice on social media; and
2. by tallying up the supporters for each
town signing up on this website.
The final entries were selected & then passed to us for final judging.
It was a great experience – I learnt a lot about some of our fantastic New Zealand Businesses bur also a lot about some of our more rural towns.
I can’t tell you who our favourites were…. but watch this space.
