Does anyone know more specific information about this? Projected numbers and such?
It is coming here, and apparently it is a big deal.
Google High-Speed Fiber Coming To KCMO - Kansas City News Story - KCTV Kansas City (http://www.kctv5.com/news/27922351/detail.html)

Wonder what the cost will be.
Sounds neat.

Want! I'm getting this when I come home. I wonder if it's only KC proper or if it will include Grandview, Belton, etc?

From searching around, it does seem that it is set to reach the suburbs as well, at least some. Not quite sure which ones or if it will be so from the start, but I am assuming all the well-populated areas will eventually be implemented.

Years back comcast was talking about putting a fiber optic backbone though america.

They dumped so much money into the project and never finished it... which is too bad, because if they had succeeded their stock would have skyrocketed. I was watching that very closely.

What he said. I'd kill for something other than the crappy ass DSL I'm stuck with.

BTW: Hai KCSR dudes.
