90 Percent of Eligible Kansas City Neighborhoods Sign Up For Google Fiber

Posted by samzenpus on Monday September 10, 2012 @03:01AM from the greased-lightning dept.

puddingebola writes in with a story about how popular Google Fiber is in Kansas City. "The company wrote in a blog post yesterday that at least 180 out of 202 'fiberhoods' have already qualified for the super-high-speed Internet service. Google says that it's still processing verification requests, and should be able to hand over the final list later this week. Since bringing fiber to homes can be expensive, Google is charging each home that hopes to hook up to the service a one-time $300 construction fee."

In a place like New York, you shouldn't have to dig. Shouldn't there be plenty of space and pullcords in the existing conduits?
Hell, tie the fibre to the copper and yank the copper out.
