Spectrum Radio always does a good job making scientific ideas understandable to the lay person, and this piece is no exception. Utopia stands for "Utah Telecommunications Open Infrastructure Agency", an optical fiber open internet based municipal network linking 14 cities in Utah and providing television, telephone and high speed broadband. The use of sound is minimal; but in fairness, it's pretty difficult to get much sound when the topic is movement of data. The interview cuts are adequate, and the narration flows nicely, but the beauty of this piece lies in the crisp writing style which is a trademark of Spectrum Radio, a monthly tech-news magazine program.
