Mitch Harper (city council) is working hard on getting Google to work with For Wayne. The fiber that we currently have is mostly residential quality that can support up to 100Mbps but Google is talking about commercial grade 1000Mbps. The FIOS connection I had was so poorly done and I had to call Verizon several times (I was out of service for days sometimes) before giving it up for Comcast. Comcast upload speeds are not that great but it works without interruption.

How much, I don't know for sure, but it is there. Rich On Feb 17, 2010 2:53 PM, "Don Pobanz" <[email protected]> wrote: Hi all, This sounds interesting. However, to my knowledge Fort Wayne does not own much infrastructure that could be used for this. (I have only lived in FW a year and a half so could be wrong). They don't have electric utilities like some municipalities nor cable TV. I don't know if the traffic signals are connected via fiber. I'm sure google would want fiber in place or if not in place, then at least poles or conduit where fiber could be installed at a minimal cost. Is there any chance that the city of Fort Wayne has that? Don Pobanz Former Municipality employee (working in communications) in Hastings Nebraska.
