Living nearby in Overland Park, this is pretty exciting stuff. It will certainly be nice to see someone big give Time Warner and AT&T a little competition.

It's a little surprising that they would pick Kansas City, Kansas over the much-bigger Kansas City, Missouri, but then again, there's probably a lot less politics and red tape to cut through when dealing with a smaller community.

Sprints headquarters are in Overland Park -- does anyone know if they have their hand in this?
