We need more fiberhoods.

4 points by entertailion ↗ HN
Somebody should create web app to allow folks from the rest of the US to pre-register for their local "fiberhoods". Google Fiber is currently limited to Kansas City, but wouldn't it be great to show Google how much the rest of us would like to have the same service. Anybody willing to run with this idea?

You can put your address and zip code into the pre-registration box. Then check the box to be kept up-to-date about fiber deployments. That way Google knows you're interested.

Remember, Google isn't interesting in creating the future with this project. It's a research experiment to see what the future will look like, and how people will use gigabit internet when that's available.

FiberStarter? KickFiber?

Realistically though, Google Fiber deployment has very little to do with customer demand. Google's business model appears to require extreme regulatory capture which most city councils have no reason to allow.
