Time Warner Cable announced its plans to bring high-speed broadband to Los Angeles.
The company claims it has invested more than $1.5 billion in its Los Angeles infrastructure, which enables it to introduce gigabit-per-second broadband speeds in 2016.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the Friday announcement comes in response to a document released by the city, asking companies how LA can compete with cities that have access to Google Fiber, AT&T’s U-Verse and more.
“We believe the introduction of consumer gigabit speeds in our near future will facilitate even greater innovations among students, entrepreneurs and many industries powering the Los Angeles economy,” Time Warner’s COO Dinesh Jain said in a release.
The company says it plans to begin initial pilot programs as early as next year.
