Cities around the country are vying to host Google's experimental fiber-optic network, which will be more than 100 times faster than the Internet connections we have today.
We were made aware of this by El Pasoan Ruben Quintana who spoke at last Tuesday's "Call to the Public" portion of the City Council meeting. He pointed out that if we truly want to be a competitive city, then we need to go after opportunities like this one.
The City's Information Technology Department has completed the application to Google on behalf of the City Government, and now we need to get El Pasoans to complete the citizen participation portion of the agreement if we're going to have a shot at winning this.
So if you're interested, please go to the following link and fill out the survey found on "Nominate Your Community":
