Baltimore is one of more than 1,100 communities across the U.S. vying to win a pilot project called Google Fiber for Communities. Google wants to install ultra-high-speed broadband in a lucky community to use as a proving ground for new Internet technologies.
Local tech geeks and public officials have banded together to promote Baltimore to Google (and the world, really) as a place to invest innovation dollars. Does Baltimore stand a chance?
I just spotted a new feature on the Baltimore team's website, over at www.bmorefiber.com. Check out the photo slideshow and comprehensive pitches to Google. Pretty impressive stuff.
Makes one sorta proud to live in Baltimore, no?
