Sweet infant baby Jesus wrapped in white cloth let Google Fiber come to OP! If that actually goes through and gets announced, I might have to consult Steve Dave in order to have the public indecency charges dropped for streaking through the streets in joy.

SD and Trim,

For the love of all things purple and white, put your heads together and lawyer up to get these city councilmen to vote yes. I have no idea how this will be accomplished, but I have full faith in you guys.  :crossfingers:

Sincerely,

A very pissed off resident and Slime Warner customer...

Ben Ji's got a lawyer buddy who does the negotiations between Google and all the local cities in the metro.

Basically each city that allows google fiber to come in gets like 2% of each customers bill for allowing google to come in and tear up the city putting the fiber in.

Overland Park keeps asking for 4% and Google is all like "You cereal bro? Well I guess we will just sign up every other city in the metro"

It was not HD quality.  You can have the fastest Internet in the world and it doesn't matter if the source of the signal is limited.  A lot of people don't seem to realize that.

I don't really care much about GF other than I'd love to have even more competition in OP. Between TW, SW, uverse, and GF (not to mention sat) they'll practically be giving it away. It's good to live in a first world city.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

There's a reason why other various media providers require its long term users to have to proactively call in and request to get the discounts and have huge "win back" and "retention" groups.   In most cases those "deals" are not given until they are asked for.
