College Station, TX should be chosen as it is located in the Texas fiber triangle, connecting five of the world’s nine Tier 1 Internet carriers.

Does any other city have what Orlando has in terms of the offer from a local foundation to donate $100k to local nonprofits for access and equipment if Google chooses them? Great way to jump from access to implementation, especially for the non-profit community that might otherwise have difficulty affording Google Fiber. http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/stories/2010/03/22/daily44.html?surround=lfn

I think a smaller community would be perfect for the Google Experiment! That is why Google, Kansas (Topeka, Kansas) would be the perfect spot. Topeka is a diverse community made up of the capitol city and surrounding communities that are a few miles outside of the city. I live SW a few miles outside of town where there are no cable lines, for companies don’t want to lay lines out this far and there thousands of people out here with no serivce at all. In Topeka you would enhance lives not only within the capitol city but the whole world, for Dr. Brian Thoma a professor at Washburn University won a half million dollar grant from NASA to study the effects on marine phytoplankton when the Earth receives a blast of radiation from events such as supernovae and gamma-ray bursts a fast internet connection would enhance his research. Plus thousands of schools & businesses that would benefit from a faster interenet service.
Furthermore there are so many professionals that live outside of town and work from their homes and need high sped interenet to run their law office, business office, or even for the little person that is a virtual homeschooler. From businesses to families in Google, Kansas you could touch a diverse group of people and change the quality of their lives. Thank you so much for considering our families, communities & homes in this incredible project!

This article is one of the reasons why I believe Elkhart County, IN would be a perfect place for Fiber. (www. googleforelkhart.com)

I completely agree with the idea that the location should be more remote and a community that actually has a need for it. It would be interesting to find out if taking a dip in freezing water can win some Google Fiber.
