Hello,

Will the local media be reporting on this Metro Council vote, or will 
followup(s) be forthcoming here in the MacGroup?

[MacGroup] Google Fiber Help

[Richard D. Meadows]

YOUR HELP NEEDED! GET GOOGLE FIBER TO LOUISVILLE.
On this Thursday Louisville Metro Council will be having a vote on TWO 
ordinances that we must get passed to make Google Fiber a reality here. The 
first is for a universal franchise agreement across Jefferson county. In the 
past, a communications provider (such as Google) would have to negotiate 
agreements with all 85 2nd and 3rd tier cities across the county. This first 
part will provide for a single point of negotiation, greatly simplifying the 
process. The second part deals with what is called “one-touch make ready” This 
will allow communications providers such as Google to be able to dispatch their 
own work crews to install fiber to your neighborhood, without having the 
involvement of AT Currently AT is involved in the process which can often 
add months to an installation time.
There is a lot of pushback from AT (Against Technology & Telephony) and our 
“friends” at TWC merging with Charter Communications (Details: 
http://www.multichannel.com/…/charter-twc-bad-deal-s…/397222 
).
 Obviously, when Google puts in their fiber Internet access, it is going to 
have a negative effect on both of those companies. They are lobbying members of 
the Council. WE NEED TO LOBBY BACK. 
What you can do. Call your council person. Here is the URL 
(https://louisvilleky.gov/gover…/metro-council/districts-1-26 
)
 to get a listing where you can get the contact information on your council 
person. Call up their office and let them know that we want GOOGLE FIBER. If 
they want more jobs in Louisville then they have to pass these two ordinances. 
If they want a better life in Louisville for their children and grand children 
they need to pass both these ordinances. We may not have huge campaign 
donations for council members but we have a bigger voice if their phones are 
flooded with calls asking them to vote for the ordinances. Your Voice Counts, 
Call Right Now. And, call David Yates, President of the Louisville Metro 
Council at (502) 574-1125 and ask him to support these ordinances and move them 
forward for approval on February 11, 2016. 
Thanks for your help in bringing Google Fiber to Louisville and making our city 
a true 21st Century city.

Richard

Thanks Richard, hopefully the Louisville folks will hit this hard….I live in 
Indiana but am hoping there is tremendous support from the public.
