FIBER POLES

[SOURCE: Google, AUTHOR: Michael Plump]

We’ve heard this feedback a few times from our customers in Kansas 
City; it seems that some folks have become hesitant to leave their home 
connections. They want to be able to have access to Fiber even when 
they’re out and about in KC, not just within the confines of their own 
home. So my team of engineers started thinking about possible solutions. 
How do you get a Gigabit everywhere in the community? We realized that 
the answer was all around us — utility poles. Poles already have our 
Fiber strung to them; all we had to do was come up with a way to make 
that Fiber accessible. That’s what we’ve done today. I’m happy to 
announce our newest project: Google Fiber Poles.
