Why should Google build a fiber to the home network in Boston?

Google is gearing up to launch an experimental ultra-high-speed broadband network to provide 1 gigabit per second Internet access to up to 500,000 people. I'd like to nominate the City of Boston, and I'm sure my fellow Bostonians, and any ex-Bostonians can understand why. I'd like to share a draft of my nomination and ask for any feedback you might have. Google also asks for a link to any supporting material and encourages YouTube videos and other creative submissions, so please respond in the comments if you know of something good. If you'd like to submit your own nomination, check out the project homepage:

Boston is a beautiful city on so many levels. I challenge anyone to live here and not fall in love. The area is rich in history, and it's easy to guess where the , The Cradle of Liberty, comes from. The vibrant, diverse culture is overflowing with creative and intelligent minds who have earned us our title of The Athens of America. This is the hub of many brilliant and forward thinking minds, as well as groups who work to change the world for the better. It's hard to live here and not feel a sense of community.
This city has so much potential still waiting to be tapped. I ask that Google roll out its fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network to at least the underpriveledged areas in Boston because it will show how investing in them, and investing in the internet can help similar communities improve, and in turn boost the entire city. This is surely something Google wants to show, and Boston will absolutely make the investment worthwhile!

Tell me in the comments, why do you love Boston?

  1. Google, please roll your fiber to Nis, Serbia (Europe). We have much more history than Boston (Constantine the Great, the Roman emperor who declared Christianity as an "official" religion, was born in our city).
    And we have 350.000 city dwellers, so you can save some bucks and make people of Nis happy! =)

  2. Heh, my persuasion is from the opposite end of the spectrum. :) I'm talking about how my whole region has a much-higher-than-average unemployment rate and that the local school district hasn't had a tax increase in years and a greater-than-state-of-the-art fiber network would really help alleviate the situation.

The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and 'skin' the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.
