Google has launched its high-speed Internet Google Fiber network in Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Mo. Residents of the two cities who preregister for a $10 fee have six weeks to rally their neighbors to sign up in order to achieve a goal pre-set by Google. Residents of communities that don’t meet the goal will be refunded the $10 fee. “When we asked people what they value in their Internet service, the majority of them simply said choice,” said Google spokesperson Katelin Todhunter-Gerberg. “So users in Kansas City will choose where we install and when.”
