That’s the word coming out of Kansas City. We have been reporting to you on Google’s project to install very, very high speed Internet service in KC, as  part of a demo project to spark interest in getting the USA’s somewhat creaky infrastructure zooming along a lot faster. The project is named Google Fiber and it seems that the goal is to make Internet service so zippy in KC that places everywhere will be shamed by their backward status and will push for improved, very greatly improved, service in their own municipalities.  Google, I guess, will stand ready to help. We’ll see what comes of this.
