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.
