Jon - Yeah, I was going to say that video looked like something ripped from an old VHS tape from 1992.
Not that my video work is much better... but still... there are some really great videographers and editors here in town that could have done an amazing job on it. Would have loved to see it get the SpaceJunk treatment.

So, I guess we still have to wait until the end of the year ... I have little hope for Columbus, but I'll keep my fingers crossed. http://www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi/

An update on Google Fiber
12/15/2010 09:04:00 AM
Earlier this year we announced an experiment we hope will help make Internet access better and faster for everyone: to provide a community with ultra high-speed broadband, 100 times faster than what most people have access to today.This week I joined Google as vice president of Access Services to oversee the Google Fiber team. Over the past several months I’ve been following the progress the team has already madeâ€â€from experimenting with new fiber deployment technologies here on Google’s campus, to announcing a “beta†network to 850 homes at Stanfordâ€â€and I’m excited for us to bring our ultra high-speed network to a community.
We had planned to announce our selected community or communities by the end of this year, but the level of interest was incredibleâ€â€nearly 1,100 communities across the country responded to our announcementâ€â€and exceeded our expectations. While we’re moving ahead full steam on this project, we’re not quite ready to make that announcement.
We’re sorry for this delay, but we want to make sure we get this right. To be clear, we’re not re-opening our selection processâ€â€we simply need more time to decide than we’d anticipated. Stay tuned for an announcement in early 2011.

Kansas City, KS was selected as the Google fiber-to-the-home community. Google is planning to begin offering the fiber-optic service starting in 2012.

It's too bad that Columbus wasn't chosen. Thanks for all of your hard work in trying, Sarah.
I did notice orange conduit being installed (direct bury) along the edge of I-71 that I only assumed was for fiber optic cable (due to the color).
I found this online:
Columbus Traffic Signal System Project Phase A
I'm hoping that a lot of spare (dark) fiber is installed for future use. Projects like this can generally pave the way for other projects if we can share resources.
