Since we last mentioned Austin citizens moving to get Google’s attention on its Gigabit Internet project, quite a bit has happened.
The Austin City Council approved a resolution to draft and submit a response for Google’s request for information and a group called Big Gig Austin has formed, complete with a Twitter account, Facebook page and Web site.
