If I Ran Google Fiber, Here's What I'd Do

Recommendations for the Google Fiber team:

1) Google could start setting up a testbed in Lafayette (LA) tomorrow. They're ready to go with a united community, a network almost built, and a unique combination of resources to draw upon.

2) Don't just deploy last mile fiber, look at middle mile.

3) Appreciate style, but pick applications based on substance.

4) Don't just talk to communities, talk to deployers and consultants.

5) In particular take time to sit down with fiber leaders.

6) Gather all this knowledge and make it available to communities.

7) Build a campaign around what fiber can enable.

8) Create an online demand aggregation tool for communities.

9) Find ways to leverage your money.

10) Don't limit the scope of the project.
