Help Bring Google Fiber To Baltimore
3 Mar
I rag on Baltimore pretty hard because I’m from Pittsburgh and a Steelers fan and that’s what I’m supposed to do. But the truth is – this city has some amazing creative people. And if you live or work here or care at all about Charm City … then we need your help to bring Google Fiber to the region.
Go here right now and ask Google to invest billions in Baltimore’s future.
Here’s the official write up from the BmoreFiber site:
Google is planning to build ultra-high speed broadband networks in a small number of trial locations across the country. The plan is to deploy 1 Gbps, fiber optic connections directly to people’s homes. This connection would be 2,000% faster than the fastest connection currently available to Baltimore residents.
Google will lay groundwork to provide a true Open Access network by allowing any vendor, from a small startup firm to more traditional Cable and DSL providers, access to high quality infrastructure. This will allow for choice and competition, increasing speed and reliability while lowering prices for all users.
Google is asking local governments and residents to express their interest in the fiber optic trial, and to provide information about their community by completing a request for information by March 26, 2010.
Let’s show Google that Baltimore is teeming with creative people who are ready for ultra fast broadband.
