Hi, Tom,
A wise friend of mine suggests that the article itself makes a point opposite to the point made in the article. Do you read it that way? Did you read the thing in the SFean recently about the Open Data Project. It seemed to have your hands all over it, but not mention you at all. Is that because you are their Eminence Grise or because they ripped you off. Nick Nicholas S.

The moral is that fiber, at this point in history, can make a difference for a city. --Barry 11 of 14 Kansas City Kansas City might not be the first area you think of for a post-college, big-city move. But this region—which sits on the border of Kansas and Missouri—has one big selling point: Google Fiber. Kansas City was the first to get Google’s gigabit Internet service, a move that has made this city of just under half a million residents a new destination for those who have start-up aspirations but lack the deep pockets that Silicon Valley or New York might require. Kansas City companies are competing for top tech talent and getting things started at the KC Start-Up Village. While Google Fiber has expanded to other cities, with more Google "fiberhoods" in the works, Kansas City is one of the best options for super-fast Internet in a region that won't break the bank. The average listing price for homes in the region is just under $200,000 while median rent sits below $1,000 per month. That's not bad if you're making the average tech salary of $89,448, which increased 21.7 percent between 2014 and 2015. ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
