The Gov Monitor reports that Gov. Jennifer Granholm is in California meeting with Google executives to push for choosing a city in Michigan to test its high-speed fiber optic network. From the report: “Granholm is encouraging Michigan communities to submit applications for the trial network with several already in the works including, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, and Lansing/East Lansing.” The article quotes Granholm: “Google fiber is a perfect fit here as no state can match the exploding new technology investment in Michigan in recent years.” [Source]
