"The Downtown Center Business Improvement District (DCBID) today announced the completion of the Downtown Los Angeles Fiber Optic Map, which details the central city's 65-block fiber rich district. The map showcases the connection between its many telecom buildings and Downtown Los Angeles' local property owners, government and financial institutions, and commercial businesses which are equipped with high-speed Internet access and connectivity via voice, video and data. Copies of the map are available to property owners, developers, technology companies, brokers, and others to encourage future development and business attraction."
