The king's X

Well, so much for the idyllic dream of the preceding post.

It ain't gonna happen.

Here's hoping, however, that the Rosedale activists don't give up and follow though on trying to do what they can with what's available now.  Sure, a megabit is only a thousandth as much as a gigabit, but it's still a megabit more than nothing. 

And speaking of nothing...it's been nearly 15 months since the Big Announcement.  Did I miss my invitation to the initial public demonstration?  Oh, it hasn't happened yet.

Hmmm...curious.  And I think more and more people are beginning to share that opinion. 

Seems like there's just no getting away from it.

The more we try not talking here anymore about the coming of Google Fiber (the official name of the project now) to the metro, the more reason someone else gives us to.  Well, blame the Kansas City Star for this one. 

An intriguing proposal, to say the least-and one that looks as if it really could go a long way toward moving eastern Wyandotte County in the right direction.  All the more incentive for someone, somewhere, to begin cracking the whip and getting at least some of that fiber hung and lit.  You know, Rosedale wouldn't be a bad place to start.
