Google's Ultra-High Speed Internet Experiment Awarded to Kansas City, Kansas - my home town! Congratulations!

Kansas City, Kansas -- where is that?  Right smack dab in the middle of the country, that's where.  I think it's pretty cool that Google chose the very center of the country to test their first experimental, ultra high-speed broadband network.  The Google team mentioned that easy access to the city officials was one of the deciding points.  Some of the people I went to high school with are the people who are now running the city - so I'm not surprised that they were awarded the experiment.  They grow 'em smart where I came from. :-)  This should help the city be able to keep some of those smarts in town!  Best of luck to everyone!
