Today we had a meeting at Launch Pad to plan New Orleans' proposal to bring Google's fiber network to New Orleans.
Google is planning to beta a fiber network, which would result in profoundly faster internet all the way to the home in whatever community they choose to partner with. We're hoping that's going to be New Orleans.
A group of twenty folks met this morning at Launch Pad, put together some ideas, and some directions to start reaching for research. We're going to try to keep bringing in new partners now and meet with the mayor. We'll see how it goes!
