It’s been quite some time since we heard about Google’s super-fast gigabit fiber optic network that the company promised to set up in one lucky city in US. All these while the hype have been Apple’s and Android’s. Now we finally get some news about US’s new Internet infrastructure, and the winner is… Kansas City, Kansas! Yes, it’s time to LOL at Topeka who renamed their city to Google.

An agreement has now been signed to roll out the fiber goodness in Kansas City, which should result in gigabit service becoming available to locals in 2012. Google’s reps said “this is the beginning and not the end.” Kansas City, Kansas, will be just the first market where this 1Gbps goodness will be installed. Guess there’s hope for the rest of us yet. So maybe that Google city might still have a chance.
