Google Fiber Work Hung Up In Kansas City

Posted by samzenpus on from the best-laid-plans dept.

alphadogg writes "When Google announced last spring that Kansas City, Kan., had landed the tech company's much-pursued super-speed Internet project, the company gushed about the local utility poles. Now it turns out that differences over where and how to hang wires on those poles, and what fees or installation costs may be required, have created a troublesome bump in plans to launch the project."

    Is there anything it can't screw up?

    Google didn't bribe the right people and suck the right dicks. So it's going to be stuck in red tape forever.

    Accidentally digging up fiber isn't fun...

    Especially when the fiber is on a pole [RTFA].
