Does Scott County have what it takes to become a Google community?


» Read similar stories filed under:

Shannon Fiecke of the Shakopee Valley News reports:

Lightning-fast Internet could be possible for area homes and businesses if locals can convince Google to make Scott County a testing ground for high-speed fiber.

Google is looking for one or more communities across America to become trial sites for its ultra-high-speed broadband network.

With a fiber-to-home connection, Google’s networks would deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most people have access to today – faster than 1-gigabit per second.
