Missoula to apply for Google ultra-high-speed Internet project
MATR Sponsor (view all)
The city of Missoula will submit an application to be one of Google’s test sites for "ultra-high-speed" Internet connections.
"We need to keep swinging at the pitches," Missoula Mayor John Engen said Friday.
The project, called Google Fiber for Communities, plans to test "ultra-high-speed broadband networks." That means "Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today."
Competitive rates are part of the deal, according to the Web site, http://www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi.
Help Missoula
Go to http://www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi/public/options. Answer some questions and – no joke – post YouTube videos.
One question: "Why should Google build a fiber to the home network where you live?"
One way to answer: Post a "Web link to supporting material (YouTube videos and other creative submissions are encouraged!)"
