Google's Silicon Prairie draws startups to Kansas City
Google's gigabit fiber has turned Kansas City's state line district into the Silicon Prairie. Startups flock to the Home for Hackers, a rent-free three month living space near Google's Kansas City fiber offices, while Ben Barreth leads the venture and cyber jammer founder Synthia Payne advances her music collaboration service. The fiber boom aims to lure traffic, speed up online video and conferencing, and push broadband providers to upgrade networks as Google expands its test market in Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri.
