JASPER, Ind. -- A telecommunications company will wire every home and business in a southern Indiana city with fiber-optic lines that will provide Internet service so fast that a two-hour high-definition movie can be downloaded in less than a minute, officials said Thursday.

Smithville Telecom's wiring of Jasper, a community of some 15,000 people about 40 miles northeast of Evansville, will take about three years to complete ...

 ... (Mayor Terry) Seitz said the city's decision to leverage fiber service for municipal departments into "a complete extension of fiber throughout the community will bring state-of-the-art communications capabilities."

"As technology becomes more immersed into our society I believe what we are beginning today will enable us to accomplish things beyond our wildest imagination in the future," he said.
