"We're planning to build experimental ultra high-speed broadband networks in a small number of trial locations across the United States to make the Internet better and faster. Check out this short video to learn more, or visit http://www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi" - Google
You may not be aware but, the City of Creswell in Oregon had fiber optic cable laid down Oregon Avenue in 1999. For over ten years Creswell has had unused and unutilized glass fiber for the purpose of ultra high-speed internet. I for one would like to see that fiber turned on. I personally make my living via the internet. I would greatly benefit from ultra fast and reliable high speed internet at fair rates and break free from the phone company monopoly that we are all currently in. I admonish every resident of Creswell to Nominate the City of Creswell to be a candidate for Google's ultra high-speed fiber optic internet experiment. You can nominate the City of Creswell at this web address (URL) http://www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi. The deadline for nominations is March 26th, 2010.
"Creswell is a member of Fibersouth and fiber optic cable was installed in fall 1999."
