Has Google attached strings to its planned high-speed broadband rollout?
Therese Poletti over at MarketWatch thinks maybe they have. Google is planning to build and test ultra-high speed broadband internet in trial locations across the United States.
And cities across the plains are falling all over themselves with cries of “Pick me! Pick Me!”
But as Poletti points out, those cities that get picked may end up paying more in the long run than they bargained for.
…But some cities might want to think twice before they court Google. They might want to make sure they have some funds in their coffers and incentives that will very likely be required to help turn their cities into 21st century digital hubs.
