I am not a super technophile. But I do know that in the race for Google Fiber between several communities, Greensboro is in the top 10 according to one blog.
Some may be surprised. I’m not.
Some communities have opted to make temporary name changes to themselves to show their enthusiasm for getting super high-speed fiber. But even with out taking such measures Greensboro has precisely the environment that can highlight the positive potential for fast, faster, fastest internet speeds. To whit:
- there are 2 universities and 3 colleges and a school of law in Greensboro. And UNC Greensboro and NC A&T are poised to make some real noise with the joint effort in nanotechnologies.
- the arrival of FedEx will lead to high tech industries in the area
- Greensboro-based RF Micro has just announced it will develop solar cells and is way ahead of the curve on this.
Don’t take my word for it. Check out this video. (I love it when smart people agree with me).
Here is the city’s draft of it’s application to Google.
So, we don’t need to change our name to make Greensboro and Google a good fit. Hey! We won’t even need to change the monogram on the towels!
