[CWN-Summit] Did anyone submit a proposal for Google Fiber this Friday?

[Ben West]

Earlier this month, Google announced its intention to build 500,000 1Gbit
fiber connections across the US.

I put together a RFI on behalf of the WasabiNet mesh that I operate in St.
Louis, MO, and updated the website substantially in lieu of the proposal.

In particular, I stressed how mesh node technology could used to easily
distribute a 1Gbit uplink to ~200 nodes over 3-4 square miles, which minimum
5Mbit bandwidth available at each node assuming ideal antenna placement.

Interestingly, the city of St. Louis also put together its own proposal,
with a focus on bringing fast service to the downtown corridor to attract
cloud computing companies.

Did anyone else in the US submit their own RFI?
