We were just wondering what Google was doing with that super-fast gigabit network it promised to establish in a single lucky city and here’s finally a fresh development. The winner has been chosen and it’s Kansas City, Kansas. Having the winning community in its own state shall be quite the bitter pill for the folk of Topeka to swallow, as they really renamed their town to Google, Kansas, simply to attempt to appease the Mountain View overlords. Hey, we’re sure Google knows best! An agreement has now been signed to roll out the fiber goodness in Kansas City, which should lead to gigabit service becoming available to locals in 2012. A press event is scheduled for 1PM ET, in order to be livestreamed on the YouTube link below, and you may try the announcement video after the break whilst you wait.
