Google (GOOG) this afternoon said in a blog post that over 600 communities and more than 190,000 individuals have made submissions in connections with the company’s plan to build experimental ultra-high speed broadband networks. Google said it will review the submissions, then conduct site visits and meet with local officials and third-party organizations. The company expects to announce the target community or communities by year end.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Websites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other websites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
