Giga-Google

From today's Star:

GigaPower by ATT Uverse coming to KCMO?  "Kansas City officials said they spoke briefly with AT&T executives Monday and told them that the same deals made for Google Fiber would be available to make U-verse more robust" (comparable to Google Fiber).

"Cities that want AT&T, the company suggested, should consider cutting regulatory red tape the way Kansas City-area communities have for Google Fiber." Lori Lee, AT&T senior executive vice-president.

The interesting piece is some WL residents have had Uverse for over a year, particularly on the East Side, West Side not so much...Ok, ok I know you have it Steve, but down the street on Potomac we do not.  The suggestion is ATT would use the Uverse platform to introduce GigaPower, the ultra high speed internet service they have launched in Austin, TX...yes GF service is there as well.

Want to know if you have access to Uverse?...I would think by now ATT would have bugged the heck out of you...but...

We at our shack got no Giga, got no Fiber, just our friends from TW.
