A promotion to make Topeka a test site for a new, ultrafast Internet service is gathering speed.
Google Inc. announced plans earlier to build and test new high-speed broadband networks in one or more places around the country. The company says the organization of fiber-optic cables would deliver Internet connections 100 times quicker than most systems now available.
Over the past week, Topeka city officials have announced they're finishing Google's request for information from potential trial communities. The City Council has indicated that it's behind the effort.
And a group called "Think Big Topeka" is campaigning to put together community and government support.
Google has given communities a March 26 deadline to submit the finished requests for information.
