The Google Fiber Project:

Google is planning to launch an opportunity that will make Internet access better and faster for everyone. The networks will deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what is considered average by most Americans. The launch will make fiber-to-the-home connections over 1 gigabit per second.

There's something you can and should do to support the effort:

•Join the Facebook group (currently 2,200+ fans)
•Post to Twitter about our efforts using the hash tag #hifiberdurham
•Submit an idea on the HiFiber Durham web site or vote for an idea about how to use Google Fiber
•Nominate Durham individually for the network (perhaps the most important action you can take other than sharing this information with a friend). Just click "Get Involved" and nomiate Durham!
