limited number of trial locations across the United States has sparked
a push by a Topeka group to gain the company's interest in the capital
city.
"Our goal is to get 20,000 people in two weeks," said Jared Starkey,
a Topeka software developer and one of the people behind Think Big
Topeka.
The group boasts more than 3,000 Facebook members and is growing at
hundreds per day. Their goal: To gather enough community and local
government support to bring Google's fiber network experiment to Topeka.
"It's so cool to me that I know people are getting excited about
this," Starkey said. "I know that any place in the country, getting
people to actually do anything is like pulling teeth. There are more
than 2,400 people in our group right now, and there are 50 to 100
people actively going out and telling people about this."
