Beating Google Fiber to the Punch: Public Utility Connects NKC School to Fiber Network
An ultra-high speed Internet service is available to the North Kansas City school district after LiNKCity , the city's public Internet service provider, connected the school up to the city's fiber network. LiNKCity and Datashack , a private hosting provider located in North Kansas City, worked together to connect the school district to the high-speed network for free. The LiNKCity fiber network represents a solid alternative to the emerging Google Fiber network, but has been developed as a public utility.
