Evanston Vies to Become Google's Choice for Pilot Fiber Network
Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl recently announced that the City of Evanston will respond to Google's Request for Information (RFI) to build
ultra-high speed broadband networks in
communities across
America. Google announced last week its intention to launch ultra-high speed
broadband Internet networks in one or more trial locations across the country.
Google's vision of a fiber-to-the-home network with open access fits
well with Evanston’s focus on making the community “the Most Livable City in
America.”
