I don't know which is more telling: that Google is now so huge that actual municipalities are begging for its attention, or that life in Kansas is so boring that its capital city voted to do something like this.

The most telling thing is the reason cities have to beg for consumer gigabit broadband: artificial local monopolies and outright consumer fraud by current broadband providers. Google should never have to do this.
