Holland to Google: “We Need Speed”

By

The faster the network connections, the better people can work at home and on the move. Google thinks more speed for more people is the answer. It’s planning to test a network that will deliver the Internet over 1 gigabit per second fiber connections “in one or more trial locations across the country.”

Holland, Michigan, where our Design Yard facility is located, is one of the communities vying to be chosen. From now until March 26, residents can nominate the city and make the case for why it should be chosen. All you need is a Gmail account. Here’s hoping that Holland will be chosen (and that you’ll help by nominating the city).

Be sure to stop by at FiberTown Fest this Saturday at New Holland Brewing Company on 66 E. 8th Street in Holland, from 12 to 4pm. There will be a nominating party to help people vote for Google Fiber.
