      <![CDATA[I'd actually be interested in the results of a user poll about how many people contacted them about Google Fiber. And also, whether their current broadband provider has contacted them about signing up for a new contract.<br>
<br>
PS, as of this writing, 32 of the 128 KCMO neighborhoods, or 25%, have met their goal to get Google Fiber.

      <![CDATA[Mark, I did a quick Google search and have a question for you: Why have you not disclosed that all of your anti-Google posts were actually authored by Scott Cleland, a man whose Forbes bio says is "supported by broadband interests," who wrote "Search & Destroy: Why You Can't Trust Google Inc," and who maintains a blog expressly dedicated to attacking Google, post after post after post after post? This is not level-headed critical thinking, this is a man hired by the established oligopoly of utility companies to attack a new player who's upsetting their big-profit model.<br>
<br>
Kansas City offered Google incentives for the same reason many cities did: To gain the positive worldwide attention, economic activity and even the population increase that comes with having Google make them the home of the best internet service in the world.
