There are already hundreds of startups in KC not associated to GFiber, have been many over the years including about 900 software companies and small shops with a lot of Android developers. But it is true that startups do small business loans rather than attract outside VC. Maybe Gfiber will change that. There sure is a lot of attention towards KC.

And BTW, over 500 tech/IT shops in KC are hiring...

At these prices, they don't NEED to attract millions just to get the company off the ground, as opposed to places like CA.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Again-with-Google-fiber-and-the-socalled-startups-27909451 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:38:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Again-with-Google-fiber-and-the-socalled-startups-27909422 Again with the startups that do nothing.

Startups with no money and can't attract any money...awesome for KC. KC doesn't want to become another Silicon Valley? Really? High paying jobs suck that much? Economic activity is really that bad? No, more like KC can't attract the money to be another Silicon Valley while they would give both nuts and an arm for it. You mean Larry Ellison wouldn't dump his new Malibu pad for a 4BR 2.75BA in KC? Come on now.

A few people in a house sharing Internetz does zero for economic activity. If Google wanted to contribute something important, they should have put fiber where it could actually do some good, where it could have attracted CAPITAL and created jobs. Perhaps if Google really wanted to do something, they would put 1000 of their employees in a satellite campus in KC.

But alas, like much of what Google does, it is symbolism over substance and the parent's basement dwelling 28 year old nerds eat it up like Cheez-its and Jolt. Page, why don't you go sell out another dissident to the Chi-coms?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Again-with-Google-fiber-and-the-socalled-startups-27909422 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:16:58 EDT
