FISHERS, IN – Residents in Fishers are needed for on-camera talent in an effort to convince Google to select Fishers as one of its test communities for the ultra-high speed broadband project “Google Fiber”. The Town of Fishers and the Fishers Chamber of Commerce are having a call-out on Sunday, March 21 at 1:30 p.m. in front of Fishers Town Hall.
 
The Town of Fishers is submitting an official application, and part of the application process is to include a creative video showcasing the community and why it should be selected.
 
The “Power Up Fishers” task force is creating a music video to the tune of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” which will feature members of the community. Participants are asked to wear jeans and yellow, red, blue, or green-t-shirts.  No registration or audition is required.  Any age resident or business owner is welcome.
 
"The Town of Fishers needs the help of our students, residents, and businesses. Everyone needs to convince Google that there is no better place in the country to demonstrate that ultra-high-speed access to information will help each student, resident, and business grow and prosper to their potential," said Scott A. Faultless, Fishers Town Council President.
 
Residents can also help the effort by completing the survey online at www.FastFishers.com under “Nominate Fishers”.

Google claims that Internet speeds of 1 gigabit per second could allow (among countless other things):

• Health facilities to stream three-dimensional images over the web to facilitate collaboration and better patient care.
• High-definition movie downloads of full-length feature films in less than five minutes.
• Three dimensional video opportunities
