Google Fiber: The nationwide response

Looks like Baltimore will have stiff competition in the contest to attract Google to build an ultra-high-speed fiber optic network in our city.

After the deadline passed Friday, Google reported that more than 1,100 communities had submitted an application, and the company received 194,000 individual responses.

Below is a Google-made map of the responses: The larger red dots indicate clusters of 1,000 individual responses and the smaller dots indicate the official community responses.
