Google UltraFast Broadband Draws attention of Northern Minnesota

Google is planning to invest in providing ultrafast broadband (1 Gigabit) to several thousand citizens in the U.S.  They are currently running a contest where communities can sign up and then prove their interest in order for Google to consider their bids.

Here’s an article with more info: Google dangles ultrafast broadband and cities leap

Also see the Google Fiber for Communities site.

I personally I am going to root for the area that I grew up in and give a shout out to the Google Twin Ports crew.  Twin Ports is the area around Duluth, MN.  This would be a boon to one of the coolest small cities on the map.  It would cause their economy to explode and would provide many jobs in that area.

Best of luck to the Duluth, MN/Twin Ports group in winning this contest.  Please head over and check out their site.
