Re: Google Fiber
Yes it is exciting that it is in Kansas City but in reality at the moment in time it still is meaningless. To qualify you have to be in one of their predetermined "Fiberhoods" but even that isn't enough. The Fiberhood that gets the most people to pre-register gets the internet and free internet for their school district first. Then they will slowly expand over time.

This is my $0.02 from living in Kansas City currently and being excluded from pre-registering and trying to get the internet for my school which would benefit our team. To elaborate on why I'm excluded do not live in one of the fiberhoods. I live more on the rural side of one of them and was hoping to be able to get it due to build being at my house. The internet is a issue for us because where we live we are only able to get slightly better than dial-up.
