"  Google&amp;#039;s plan to try out its blazing-fast Gigabit Internet system in Kansas City has been simmering this summer as the tech giant surveyed households throughout the two cities (Kansas City, Kan., and Kansas City, Mo.) to see how many neighborhoods would pony up for the service. As it turns out, nearly all of them did.  The Google Fiber teams divided the pair of cities into 202 districts it is cleverly calling &amp;quot;fiberhoods,&amp;quot; each with about 800 homes. If a substantial percentage of residents in a neighborhood would put down a $10 fee for Google Fiber, Ars Technica says, then Google would include it in the &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot; list. The search giant announced yesterday that 180 of those 202 districts met the goal and qualified, meaning they can sign up for the new service starting on Thursday\u2014which is the day that Google will announce its construction schedule for the Fiber network.  Google Fiber service is supposed to begin in K.C. staring in the middle of next year. The lightning-fast internet service costs $70/month, or $120 when bundled with a fiber TV service. Interestingly, Google will also offer a 5 Mbps &amp;quot;free&amp;quot; internet service. (That is, it&amp;#039;s guaranteed free for seven years, but Kansas City households would have to pay a $300 installation fee.) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
