In an attempt to gain the favor of the company\, o ne city\, Topeka\, Kansas decided to change its name to Google for a day . \;\n \;\nThe City of Portland is taking the proposal seriously a nd will be adopting a resolution Wednesday\, March 17th to provide a pro posal to the search engine colossus. The project would be a significant undertaking for Google. Estimates are that they would need to spend hund reds of millions of dollars to lay a fiber optic network in most cities\ , whereas in Portland\, City efforts to facilitate it have already tille d the fields for high-speed broadband. \;\n \;\nThe significance o f the project is that it would provide speeds of one hundred times great er than is available today in the United States\, potentially spurring i nnovative\, revenue generating businesses and jobs in the city that is a warded the prize. \;\n \;\nA group of citizens in the technology a nd creative industries clusters have joined in the effort to “Woo the Go og”\, since the RFI states that citizen involvement will be a deciding f actor in awarding the fiber network. \;\n \;\nThe Game will stretc h from Pioneer Courthouse Square\, and attempt to cross the Steel Bridge to the steps of the Rose Garden arena. The event will begin at 9am Satu rday March 20th\, and the record-breaking Telephone game attempt will st art at the east side of the Steel Bridge at 9:30\, reaching Mayor Sam Ad ams in Pioneer Courthouse Square at approximately 10:30. All who are int erested are encouraged to meet at the corner of NW Couch and Naito Parkw ay. \;\n \;\nWorld’s Longest Telephone Game \;\nSaturday\, Marc h 20th 2010 \;\nRose Garden across the Steel Bridge \;\n \;\nCo ntact: Donna Hougland \;\ndonna@flowspoon.com \;\n503-313-9152\n\n Tags: fiber\, pdxfiber\, telephone\, internet\, flashmob\n\nImported fro m: http://calagator.org/events/1250458453 URL:http://www.portlandfiber.com SUMMARY:pdxfiber's Portland Reach: Play in the world's largest "telephone game" LOCATION:NW Couch and Naito Parkway: NW Naito Pkwy & NW Couch St\, Portla nd OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120201T174620Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120223T150000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120223T123000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120201T174620Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120202T185714Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250461917 DESCRIPTION:This is an opportunity to see how the brilliantly simple Shor eTel Phone System can enhance your business capabilities and grow with y our company.
