Google, which announced last month that it will begin building an ultra fast broadband network to service up to 500,000 customers around the United States, (with speeds advertised at about 100 times the current average speed for broadband connections) has said today that 600 communities applied for the experiment, as well as 190,000 individuals.

Ladies & Gentlemen.. Oklahoma City is where it's going..
Not only did we just get an NBA team, pass an 800million dollar city tax to upgrade our downtown and add key buildings to an already growing city.
***But we have the most "Cell-Phone Only" households in America..*** 1 in 4 Oklahomans ONLY use a cellphone as their main line of communication.

Coupled with the fact that we are centrally located and have access to alternative energy sources like Wind and are one of America's biggest producers of Natural Gas.

Dream on Bretweller, I'm betting it will come to my neighborhood before OK city! :)
I wish they'd come to my rural community, but it is just as uneconomical in my area for Google as it is for the local telco that hasn't upgraded my DSLAM in the last 8 years. So, I will continue to "enjoy" my 512k DSL since it's the best I can get.
I'm not sure what Google is trying to accomplish here...maybe they're willing to take the money the gov't is putting out there to upgrade Internet infrastructure. I do think this is a good thing...will get more people employed to set this stuff up.
