If you people haven't done this yet, DO IT.

I showed all the people that I did it. A few days ago.

Done. I was a little less wordy than Ned: "Because we are awesome, duh."

Filling this out wont make a difference. Google will end up going to where they get the best deal, not where the most people beg from.

@ Rusty! -

There is no "deal" for Google. It's not a money thing. It's a community fiber thing.

I think it's perfect for them. They always position as not-Microsoft but similar, and PDX is not Seattle but similar. Keep your enemies closer.

How can this not come down to money? Google will have to invest a lot of money into building up the infrastructure, this is a long term investment for Google. I'd be shocked if they went somewhere that didn't give them big tax breaks.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love an alternative to Comcast! I just don't think that filling out that page will have any affect on what Google decides.

Mr. or Mrs. mess of a name. You are either intentionally or unintentionally full of shit. You also know nothing about 802.11n. Sorry. Try again.

@luckymike: Good retort. You really proved your point. Kudos.

Yeah...

I guess a more responsible retort would be "name one of the 8 ISPs who would do this" cause clearly there are people out there who would gladly purchase this service. There is no one out there who can provide it today, because the infrastructure isn't built. If someone built it, there are definitely many ISPs who could provide service (assuming an open infrastructure) on it.

As for 802.11n, it's really not a good technology for a large scale outdoor network. It's designed to work in indoor environments, where there are walls and stuff and the signal gets bounced around. Outdoors, you are better off with 802.11b or g, but that's not going to provide speeds anywhere near fiber.

Not sure if this constitutes proof, but a little research should backup my statements. I've spent the better part of a decade working with this stuff and researching these applications. Usually I seek to educate, but sometimes I prefer to be a dick, especially when dealing with anonymous trolls who really want to assert [insert crazy naysaying idea here].
