Residents and Businesses on Fishers Candidacy for Googles Fiber Network

FishersFind.com, in conjunction with the efforts of
Indy IT Professionals, the Town of Fishers, and the Fishers Chamber of Commerce,
launch Fiber4Fishers.com website.



Imagine the possibilities...  Internet speeds at 100 times faster than what you currently experience with Cable or DSL at home, or the T-1 at work.

Lightning fast downloads, On Demand movies in minutes, Video seminars without interruption, and countless other things you could be experiencing with Fiber to your home.

Businesses would have the ability to significantly improve communications and innovate their operations.  What a great way to promote businesses moving or remaining in Fishers, Indiana.

Google announced on February 10th that it plans to build and test ultra-high speed fiber networks in a select number of communities across the United States. The fiber network will communicate data at 1 Gigabyte per second, or the equivalent of 1,000 Megabytes per second.  The average cable and DSL speeds today range from 3Mb - 10Mb per second.

Users of the Google Fiber network will experience internet and data communications approximately 100 to 300 times faster.

Fishers is set up to be a prime candidate for the Google Fiber test network.  We have recently been designated by BusinessWeek as the #1 Best Affordable Suburbs in America.  In 2009, Fishers was recognized as Best Place in Indiana to Raise Kids, 11th Best Place in America to Move, and Top 100 Best Places to Live in America.

We need your Help!

The Town of Fishers, along with other local businesses are hard at work putting together an application to send to Google prior to the March 26th Deadline.

As a resident, we need you to show your support for this project by visiting Fiber4Fishers.com and by Nominating Fishers.  You must have a Google or Gmail account to fill out the nomination form, which only takes a few minutes to complete.

You can also join the Fiber4Fishers movement by following us on Twitter or Facebook.

Having a Google Fiber network will greatly improve the business community and the lives of the Fishers residents.  To be chosen, we must, as a community, show the support for this project.

Im am the owner of a small Internet Provider (ISP) in Noblesville speciallizing in internet solutions for businesses and consumers. We are in the internet access business, selling DSL and other high speed internet solutions around the metro area. I'm consirned about google coming to town and locking up their resources, not allowing ISP to buy at wholesale. This could put us samll ISP's out of the business if they dont play nice. Do we really want to give Google our money so it can be taxed and spent in California or keep the money local with us local providers.
