Google is planning to build, and test ultra-high speed broadband networks in a small number of trial locations across the country. They will deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today with 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections. Google will offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000, and potentially up to 500,000 people.

Let's do this!

Absolutely!
I love that you are using SeeClickFix for this. A friend in another community in New Jersey said he was going to do this too.
When he posts we can compete.

Google is a sleazy anti-American company and "We" definately want them to stay away from New Haven.
Just say NO to Google.
No way!
No how!!!!

How do we get an 'Acknowledged' designation for this issue? Greg posted that the city is working on this application on the Facebook Group page http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=309439846644 .
We still need to get people to fill out the community request form though. If we can get enough people to fill out this form hopefully we will get Google's attention! http://www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi/public/options

Durham NC is really picking up the ball with attracting Google. Surely New Haven can out do a small city like Durham.

We should be doing some things as a community for this.

If it ain't broke, Google still needs to fix it. New Haven is the place to fix it.
Orders of magnitude better internet speed will allow us to do a great many things as a community, not just through an incremental change in our file download/upload speeds, but through a bandwidth sea change which unleashes our ability to use technology to transform our city through new technology applications - innovate in business and academia (because we have the infrastructure) which use computing power and massive new storehouses of data to create new products/solutions, close the digital divide in our communities and schools through applications which push the envelope of learning past what is feasible with today's teaching techniques, and bring us all closer to our own government.

A broadband catapult for America
Posted: 15 Mar 2010 12:19 PM PDT
(Cross-posted from the Google Public Policy Blog)
Power. Clean water. The Interstate highway system. It’s easy to forget that the advantages of modern American life result from basic infrastructure investments made by earlier generations.
Tomorrow the FCC will release a national broadband strategy. The plan will set goals for expanding broadband to unserved and under-served areas, promote greater speeds, and drive consumer demand. It will harness this communications technology to urgent national priorities, such as jobs, education, health, energy, and security. In short, the plan will lay the groundwork for investing in America’s future.
Yes, the Internet was invented in the United States. Yes, we once led the world in broadband development. But now, networks in many countries, from Western Europe to East Asia, are faster and more advanced than our own. Long after we recover from this recession, this broadband gap will be a dead weight on American businesses and workers, unless we act now.
As with the space race in the 1960s, America needs a national effort by our scientists, engineers, companies, educational institutions and government agencies. Just like that great national adventure, we need near-term and long-term goals.
Broadband is an essential input to expanding business, education, and healthcare opportunities everywhere. As soon as possible, we need to bring Internet access to every community, from rural America to the inner cities.
But we also need even more ambitious objectives — or “stretch goals” — that test the limits of our ingenuity. When President John F. Kennedy summoned the nation to space exploration, the immediate goal was to send an astronaut in orbit around the earth. But JFK called for “putting a man on the moon” because he knew that dream would inspire Americans to literally reach for the stars.
The private sector has a big job to do, and needs to carry much of the investment. For our part, we plan to build and test an ultra-high-speed broadband network in at least one U.S. community. We are excited by the amount of support our proposed testbed has received from local communities and individuals.
But smart, tailored public policies are critical too. Let’s install broadband fiber as part of every federally-funded infrastructure project, from highways to mass transit. And let’s deploy broadband fiber to every library, school, community health center, and public housing facility in the U.S.
I support a national broadband strategy because ubiquitous broadband connectivity can catapult America into the next level of economic competitiveness, worker productivity, and educational opportunity. But as in the past, we will make this breakthrough by choice, not chance.

PS- Why do I all of a sudden feel like backing up against the wall? One city out of the entire USA? Well guys it seems as if they are fishing to find the interest and then letting the US govt foot the rest of the bill. "Caveat Emptor"!

Edison-
Every single person can help:
1. Go to highspeednewhaven.com and sign on as a partner with the cities application
2. Get the word out everyone you know in the city to do the same.
3. Print out fliers to hang around town http://bit.ly/googlehavenflier
4. There is also an online video campaign going on. We need help getting people on video saying "I want my New Haven to be GoogleHaven" http://bit.ly/bww16x
We are having a meeting on Friday for those who want to help. More info here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=377089123440

This Saturday the Downtown-Wooster Square Community Management Team and Wooster Square Watch are sponsoring a community planning meeting.
Results from the 2010 New Haven quality of life survey are now available and will be a terrific indicator of the areas of focus for improving the quality of life in our neighborhood.
Please join us!
Saturday, May 8th
8:30 am -- 12 pm
(coffee and refreshments provided)
Conte Hills School Cafeteria
I hope many of you can make it to think strategically as a group about how we as citizens can make a difference in the neighborhood within our broader mission of safety through awareness and prevention.
See you there!
