Hey Google: Bring Your Fiber-Optic Action To Baltimore!

Please excuse my transparent attempt to selfishly leverage Phandroid to ask Google a personal favor – Bring your Fiber-Optic Broadband Network to Baltimore!

I could go on and on and on about why Baltimore is THE place for this, but the Baltimore government has actually appointed someone – CEO of Mind Over Machines, Tom Loveland – as the official “Google Czar” to help rally support. They’ve got a website up at BMoreFiber.com to promote their platform and I couldn’t resist lending a hand. There hasn’t been a shortage of exposure due to the Czarification and we’ve included some of the more interesting pieces below:

• Baltimore Sun: Why Google Should Pick Baltimore
• Baltimore Examiner: Bring Google Fiber to Baltimore
• WYPR: Baltimore Community Fiber Movement
• Baltimore City Paper: Petition Google To Lay Ultra-Fast Broadband on Baltimore
• The Daily Record
• Baltimore Business Journal
• BusinessWeek
• Mashable.com
• TechCrunch

I know there are a LOT of readers out there from a LOT of places who would prefer Google bring their test-bed elsewhere. Feel free to plead your case in the comments and “write-in” your own preference below!
