The note below went out from GRE’s Mark Peterson earlier today. If you’d like to help make Rochester faster, then please participate and help spread the word!
“Google recently announced plans to build a fiber optic network in select areas around the country. This new service would offer accessible, high speed access up to 1 gigabit per second, 100 times faster than standard high speed Internet service. This would make it easier to manage and download materials as well as connect with friends, colleagues and family around the world.
We need your help to make sure Rochester, NY is selected for this trial program. If you care about this community then make some noise! Your vote matters in this dogfight with other communities that are vying for Google’s ultra-high speed Internet access pilot service. Support Rochester, NY’s application by clicking on the following link and showing Google that the people of Rochester, NY want and deserve to be among the first to experience Google’s ultra-high speed Internet service.
