Got a tweet from a pretty smart dude asking everyone to “nominate chicago for google’s fiber optic trial (read: really fast internet). because comcast can SUCK IT!!!”
So, go here and do it. If you need reasons why, here are mine- steal away.
Only text, no fun video, if someone makes one, I will resubmit my nomination, feel free to add to the list.
-
Chicago is a very diverse, populated city. We can prove a test better than other cities due to scale.
-
Yes, we hate ATT, but not already skewed in opinion like NY and San Fran. We are equally frustrated by everything.
-
Forward thinking consumers/early adopters
-
Large ad agency/marketing community – good/loud users
-
Google has an office here and relationship with many companies
-
A mix of businesses, colleges, artists- all with enough scale to test usage habits.
-
our city government will probably work some shady deal to make it worth your while.
-
oh, and comcast sucks and has an unfair monopoly and plays with bandwidth like it’s a game.
anymore?
the world according to schmogel.
