60 local organizations support Google Fiber in St. Louis!
We want to see this happen in St. Louis to further re-enforce the fact that we are quickly becoming one of the most resurgent communities in the United States. We have a very dynamic and technically savvy community, and great strides have been made to showcase this. A project like this certainly adds to that effort.
I am a bioinformatician at St. Louis University Medical Center. I analyze high-throughput genomic datasets, and higher-speed access would be a huge boost to not only my research, but everyone in the St. Louis research community including Washington University, which played an integral role in the Human Genome Sequencing Project.
Google Fiber would help us recruit, teach, and serve more students. We have an internationally diverse student population, so it would benefit students all over the world. SLU wants everyone to have a chance to "Be a Billiken," and we can accomplish that faster and better by having Google Fiber Internet access.
Google Fiber in St. Louis could help the city move from being known as “The Gateway to the Midwest” to “The Gateway to Innovation.” With Google Fiber, St. Louisians could easily access large amounts of data quickly and have access to computing resources like processing in real time.
