Madison is the among cities around the country hoping Google will chose it to test its new fiber-optic network, and the city hosted a public meeting Thursday night to garner support and ideas for the Google network in Madison.
“What Google is doing with this project is theyâ??re saying itâ??s not a zero sum game, itâ??s a win-win game. Once this fiber comes into a home, you can be a customer of Charter, AT&T, TDS or many other providers,” said David Devareaux-Weber, of the University of Wisconsin-Madisonâ??s Department of Information Technology, at the meeting.
