Google on Wednesday said it would build and test a super-fast, fiber-optic Internet service in a few communities, providing service to as many as 500,000 people.
The Sun-Star newspaper in Merced, California ran an editorial yesterday, trying to rally community support for a bid to get Google to build a fast network there.
