Google is planning to launch an experiment to bring better and faster Internet access to everyone. They are looking for a community to partner with to test ultra-high speed broadband networks.
There simply is no better location on the planet than Longmont, Colorado for Google to build its first open access fiber to the home ultra high speed broadband network.
Since 1997 Longmont has been looking for a business partner to supplement our existing eighteen-mile fiber-optic ring. You see, Longmont has had this dream for more than a decade and now is our opportunity to make it happen.
If you would like to join the effort and show your support, please visit this link below and add your information to our local map.
The City of Longmont submitted their information about our community to Google's Fiber for Communities Request for Information (RFI). Google will be reviewing all of the submissions and we will keep you informed of the progress of this project if you sign-up below.
Complete the form below.*Everyone who fills out this form is automatically entered into a drawing for a new Apple iPad. The winner will be announced on May 31, 2010. (Deadline has been extended).
Let the City of Longmont know that you are in support of this project. By giving us your name, address and email (optional), we are able demonstrate to Google our public support.
The information gathered will plot a map point (without releasing your personal information) on a Google Map which will allow us and others to visually show the interest in the Google Fiber access in our community. If you provide us with your email address, we will be able to keep you informed of this project along the way. (Map can be best viewed using IE 7 or by using other browsers)
