Are you a Jersey City business? We’d like to hear from you about how superfast internet connections can change the way you do things. Can you create a new project or try a new system or offer a new service or do better research? Can you get groceries faster or look for jobs or find training? The options are endless. Please post your comments, thoughts, and wildest dreams here.
TECCS is a new school (Sept 2009). We are lucky to have many tech savvy parents who formed a technology committee for the school. While they have worked to get the school wired and wireless and on-line for the students and staff, the internet connectivity is patchy. We would like to continue with a more reliable service so our students can access web-content, but more to communicate with each other and students around the world.

Our boutique company, mOdat Productions, provides video content for publications like; Vanity Fair, Every Day w/ Rachael Ray, Cosmo and Elle Decor. We use the internet daily to show our videos to our clients and get their feedback. High Speed would radically alter the amount of time we spend uploading and downloading video and graphics.
The faster the internet is, the faster we can grow as a company. Plus, is doesn’t hurt that we can compete with New York City production companies without leaving our home office!

We are a small real estate brokerage business in Jersey City that use the internet daily it would be a privlige to have free internet in Jersey City and because our city is so close to NYC would help to have an edge in communications to move forward. Thank you.
As a film and TV production company I would like to experiment with hosting my own video on demand site. This requires much faster and more reliable Internet than what I’m getting now from Comcast or Verizon.
It would also help in my daily work when I have to upload video for clients.
Right now simply uploading a 1 Gb high defenition video to YouTube for encoding takes 4-5 hours. I’m limited to one a day and it is an overnight process. I would like to be able to say to my clients that an hour or so after a video is competed I can have it ready for them to watch.
We are a graphic design and digital photography studio. We often upload large files for reproduction in other parts of the country and overseas. Faster upload times would be very beneficial to our productivity.
As a home-based travel agency, I am greatly limited by our terrible Comcast internet connection and would absolutely LOVE it if Jersey City was chosen by Google to have this very fast internet line.
At the moment, a lot of my travel clients need me to be able to send detailed e-brochures, complex itinerary documents and photos of their destinations but my internet is so slow and inefficient that I am unable to do so at all sometimes. Usually I need to break the information into various emails, etc to be able to send them these files. Comcast can’t handle it! It slows me down, it slows my clients down and makes us less efficient in our business. GOOGLE CHOOSE US, CHOOSE JERSEY CITY – we have a lot of professionals that work from home and a lot of productive businesses that would really thrive if we had this.
Acadia Tree, Inc. provides web design and front-end engineering for Fortune 500 clients in nyc, nationwide, and globally. Industries include: financial sector, publishing, fashion, education, environmental agencies. Almost all of our work and interactions with clients is conducted over the internet. A high speed internet connection would radically reduce the amount of time we spend uploading and downloading websites and related assets (graphics/flash/audio/video). It would also help us to collaborate with partners and clients more smoothly and seamlessly.
The faster the internet is, the more productive and efficient we will be as a company.

As an owner of two web based company, I rely on uninterrupted high speed Internet to support my income. Google has excelled at providing free applications for small businesses owners like me to run day to day operations on a small budget. Applications like GMail, AdWords, Checkout, Docs, Maps, Local Business Center, Voice and Alerts have been keeping daily expenditures at its lowest in order to stay competitive. If it wasn’t for Google, neither of my business ventures would survive in this economy.
A 1GB line would be extremely beneficial as I would save hundreds of dollars on web hosting from home instead of paying a third party and provide much needed clarity for VoIP. To an entrepreneur, there are endless possibilities of what a super fast Internet connection can provide.
We’re an interactive design and marketing firm and we work 95% of the time virtual with our client base (VoIP,Skype and other collaborative tools) including managing remotely 20 servers, ecommerce sites, video streaming etc. Google’s 1gb would be a dream come true.
I am a self employed businessman providing consultancy in process technologies & Renewable Energy to clients around the world. After retiring, I provide consultancy to developing countries free of cost. I extensively use video & audio conferencing with my clients. It is GREEN, avoids waste of time in traveling, enables me to overcome the limitations of advancing age & it is inexpensive. I need High Speed Internet to leverage my abilities, bring $’s back to USA & share my experience with people in need.
This town is packed gill-to-gill with creative talent. My musical collaborators have been scheming a way to have real-time, inter-active web-casts featuring the artists and musicians of our burgeoning scene. Hi-speed would make it all possible.
We are a kitchen equipment dealer located in Warren, RI, and I am their project coordinator live and work from their Jersey city office.My communication is heavily depending on Internet.
Super fast internet connection = more time save = more productivity. Love it!!
