Google plans big announcement in Kansas City

Some of the question marks hovering over Google Inc.’s incoming fiber network in Kansas City, Kan., and Kansas City, Mo., could disappear next week.
“Kansas City: Google Fiber is almost here,” Kevin Lo, general manager of Google Access, wrote in a Wednesday blog. “Look out for more information on July 26th at google.com/fiber.”
Google plans to announce details of the ultra-fast broadband network on July 26, a company spokeswoman said Wednesday. A location hasn’t yet been disclosed for a planned press conference, but details will be made public via a new website, according to a blog from the Google Fiber team. The blog features a short video with photos of Kansas City landmarks and the familiar “Kansas City” tune in the background.
Google has been hush-hush about the exact timing and cost of the network, which neighborhoods it will reach and what the company's intentions are with video services, among other details.
Google officials have referenced this summer announcement during most public inquiries, saying that the company would be more forthcoming with details at that time.
