“On Monday, the mayor of Topeka, Kansas signed a proclamation unofficially changing the city’s name to “Google, Kansas—the capital city of fiber optics.” The name-swap, which lasts until the end of March, is an attempt to court Google’s offer to bring super-fast fiber-optic broadband to 50,000 to 500,000 homes in the U.S. The announcement triggered comment board explosion on The Topeka Capital-Journal’s Web site.”
