#49277 RE: colemano #49268

colemano But, it is an interesting question.

No one is going to build a 10 Gig pipe for the next ipad. But looking at the charter of IRON, and University research in Cloud Computing, maybe it has something to do with this:

Cloud Computing

National Science Foundation Awards Millions to Fourteen Universities for Cloud Computing Research

CLuE

23 Apr 2009: Grants of nearly five million dollars will enable fourteen universities to participate in the IBM/Google Cloud Computing University Initiative

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/university/cloud/

Also, Needs for Cities 'First Responders', Business, ect may conclude that the best way to get it ALL done is with a combination of Fiber and virtual fiber channels.This would be a really great way to build out. It also might draw some attention.

So, I would say the next city announced would be Seattle WA, home of the University of Washington.

Just a hunch/JMHO
