Cedar Crest

We live in the community of Cedar Crest Estates in the southern tip of Loudoun County, Virginia. Loudoun County, which likes to think of itself as the "Internet County" has not been particularly helpful at obtaining the option of high-speed internet for our 160 residents.

Google did a promotion of their initiative to "fiberize" the nation a while back and I submitted an application for our community to become a test site. You can view that application at https://sites.google.com/site/cedarcrestfiber/ .

Google was looking for creative ways of expressing interest in participating in their initiative. Our application was rather pedestrian in comparison to that of Topeka, Kansas. The Topeka city council voted to change the name of the town to Google for the month of March in support of their application. To return the gesture, if you used Google search on April 1, 2010, you saw that Google had changed its name to Topeka. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/different-kind-of-company-name.html .
