Columbia Telecommunications Corporation (CTC) has been selected by Seattle City Light (SCL) to explore the risks and potential benefits of participation in the municipal broadband initiative under consideration by Mayor Greg Nickels and the Department of Information Technology (DoIT) for the City of Seattle.
