Hey, Why Not?!!!

Would it be great if the civic leaders of Chatham put in their application to be a test site for Google's fiber optic broadband Internet service, which promises speeds 100 times faster than what Internet users currently have? Google plans to build the ultra high speed network in a "small number of trial communities." The company also says it will offer service at a "competitive price to at least 50,000, and potentially up to 500,000 people."
