We really wish we lived in Kansas City. Google has selected the town to test its new Gigabit Internet service. What does that mean? That means speeds that are about 100 times faster than what you're used to experiencing with your tired old cable modem.
Why it's innovative:
Gigabit internet is readily available in other countries, but the U.S. has been slow to adopt it. Thanks to Google, Kansas City will soon be a testbed proving that the technology is practical and can be scaled to serve major cities.
