PASADENA TO RESPOND TO GOOGLE’S FIBER FOR COMMUNITIES RFI

The city of Pasadena will respond to Google’s request for information (RFI) to host the roll-out of Fiber for Communities, an experimental, ultra-high-speed, fiber-to-home broadband network that, according to Google, will offer Internet access at a speed of one gigabit per second – more than 100 times faster than what is available to most Americans.

The application strongly depends on the enthusiasm of the community as well as an identification of community assets that can contribute to the effort.

Google has not stated exactly how many cities it intends to serve with the trial program but has made it clear that any cities that are chosen will have demonstrated broad community support and readiness. Pasadena is among hundreds of cities planning to apply by the March 26 deadline.

Residents, businesses, institutions, schools and others are encouraged to visit www.fiberforpasadena.com, a special website that has been established as part of Pasadena’s application.  The site includes opportunities for everyone to share and discuss their enthusiastic support for the project via social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, upload creative videos showing their support, nominate Pasadena as a test city, map their locations, and much more.
