Topeka/Google name swap complete. Truly a new low for the state of Kansas when some douchebag decides it'd be cute to whore out the capital city's name to a private enterprise for cheap broadband, and now you're the butt of April Fool's around the world. Ya blew it.

I think this means they have a much better chance than they would if they'd done nothing, or even did what pretty much every other city in America did.  Even if they don't get the fiber, Topeka was brilliant here.

I work with one of the organizers of the community push to get Google here.  I just told i'll be if we don't get it.  It will all look kind of embarrassing.
