Google Fiber: Ultra High Speed Broadband coming to Kansas City, KS

As part of our overall goal to make the web better for users, last year we announced a new project: to provide a community with Internet access more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have today. After a careful review, we're very happy to announce that we will build our ultra high-speed network in Kansas City, Kansas. We've signed a development agreement with the city, and we'll be working closely with local organizations, businesses and universities to bring a next-generation web experience to the community.

Thank you to every community and individual that submitted a response, joined a rally, starred in a YouTube video or otherwise participated.

Ya google's goal I am sure is not to take over the US with its blazing fast speed to make the competition keep up. Look at this, there hasnt been any competition for internet like real competition for a loooong time. Now google is going to break that to make others step up. Look at chrome, they made the internet waaay faster and accessible through your browser and then look at IE, IE is actually fast now unlike before. Google would expand to other cities if they wanted to but they dont

I love it when Americans use the word historical to describe there buildings; bet it's like 70 years old

Alright but let's face it.. by the time Google gets to half the US, all the other ISPs would have caught up by then. Fiber won't make nearly as much of a difference by then.

Well, the short answer is you are wrong. And even in the cases where you are correct, does it make any sense to bottleneck speeds at 10mb/ps because 'you are not even using your maximum write speed', Zzzzzz.
