Ann Arbor is actively networking to be one of the receiptants of the fiber network that Google is installing.
You can join the Facebook Fan Page to keep updated, there are already 7,993 fans there, connecting and discussing.
Both the City of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan are putting together an application to send to Google.
What will a fiber network mean to the communities that Google selects?
- A video conference without connection hiccups.
- A movie rental that takes five minutes to download, as opposed to an hour.
- Streaming videos of lectures taking place hundreds of miles away with resolution so precise that you can practically see the loose threads on the professor’s sports coat.
- Fast Connections

Missy:
Anxious to see how this works out, it sounds like a wonderful upgrade.
Missy,
Google is moving to take over a lot of things and they do it so well. I think that this will be interesting to see how it turns out. Good luck to Ann Arbor.
Missy.... I wonder what Google's plans are on a national level? I guess they are testing this out in your area, since they are largely located up your way? thanks for the update.
We may all look back and say ... "that was before google ruled the world .... " Exciting, and kind of scary.
Good luck with your Google quest. Can you imagine if Google and Verizon got together....oh they already did that.
Missy, You always amaze me with how you keep up with these things. I was on Google today, just trying to figure out some things I'd never done....I'll have to go back and see what else I've missed!
Hi Missy... Ann Arbor seems like the type of community that would be a great test case for this program with it's diversity of businesses, residents and application needs. Good luck!
Missy- Keep us posted as to the progress on Ann Arbor's petition to Google. Katerina
Missy :)
It seems that you are following the leader :) I posted sometime ago about this :) I love google products and that's great news that you are getting google to work in your area ! :P
