Given that a large percentage of the city will soon have access to Gigabit Broadband, I wonder if we could simply consider the entire City to be one large LAN.
I'm perfectly satisfied with their 30 up / 30 down plan. That one costs $58 a month.
In particular, Kansas City Kansas Community College is a bright spot. Here's hoping that their CIS program can work with Google to place some interns!
Pre-emptive edit: When I mention the suburbs, I understand that they won't be included initially, but with the network nearby it should be eas(y|ier) to expand into those areas. ;)
Did I mention I spent that year commuting from KCK to Olathe? Glad that is over. Don't let me get started about the commute from Lawrence to Lee's Summit. I have no idea what I was thinking.
Unlike another commenter pointed out, I am really hoping that Google did pick KCK because of its relative low status in the KC Metro area. I am hoping the benefit of greater connectivity will be more clearly seen in a city like KCK.
