Greensboro Is Talking

Kathey Gill has a list of over 100 cities and counties in 43 states of official and unofficial efforts to lure Google.

From her blog Wired Pen:

“Cash-strapped city officials understand the competitive advantage that a high-speed broadband initiative can mean for economics, both business activity and in-migration attractiveness. It will be interesting to see how many cities with official pitches to Google continue to seek ways to fund this infrastructure when they don’t win the Google prize.

This project is an interesting intersection of business and government as well as citizen action and government. There are lots of folks with Facebook accounts who want their governments to be proactive in improving Internet access. What’s sad is that most of them have had no response from a city official — the walls are empty of public official interaction.”
