So I'm from Sugar Land, TX (currently living in Richmond a few miles outside of Sugar Land) and saw this article Google May Choose Sugar Land

That would be SO awesome! I know a few other Folcs live in the area too (Amberlea)... how awesome would it be to be Google's guinea pig! Go us! dance

I saw a banner for that at my 5yo's softball game last night. It's thinkgig.sugarlandtx.gov to give them your opinion on the fiber-to-home initiative. It would be very cool!

Well now I'm REALLY going to have to come visit. I haven't unpacked yet (and it's been 12 whole hours since I got home; I'm clearly slipping) ... should I just turn around and go back to the airport? wink

Ah, now that the data kraken has substantial part of online pathways and data gathering systems, it goes after the real word data pathways. They'll be even faster at data gathering about everyone and everything.

Google has been buying so called dark fiber for years, when you run fiber the cost of adding extra strands is trivial compared to the digging etc.

Google probaly won't do more than the demo project for this however. What this does do it shows that google can do it. So when the the big ISPs make the attempt (like they have already) to make Google and other big sources pay for allowing the ISPs customers to reach them they can point out that they can bypass the ISP and hurt them badly.
