In case you haven’t heard, Google is offering to build an experimental network in a community with speeds up to 100 times faster than current Internet speeds, and at an affordable price. This new network is expected to radically change how communities access information and interact with the world.
Boulder is one of many communities vying to be the lucky recipient of this experimental network. As a city known for its smart people, progressive policies, and high tech companies, we are a great fit for a project like this. To capitalize on this, the City has stepped up efforts to get as many people as possible to vote, both by setting up a fan page on Facebook and by declaring this weekend “Boulder Fiber Weekend.” Although nominations are being accepted until March 26, the City is hoping to have everyone vote before midnight on March 21.
This is an awesome opportunity for us to bring in more jobs, boost our local economy, and enhance communications across all sectors of our community. And, of course, having lightning-fast Internet speeds would be pretty sweet, too. So, what are you waiting for? Vote now!!
