More than 600 community groups have responded, and with more than 190,000 responses from specific individuals.
The goal of the Google project, says the company, is to bring high-speed connectivity to between 100,000 and 500,000 people. In a blog post, Google also highlighted some of the stunts in an effort to attract Google’s attention: jumping into a frozen lake, renaming a town, and a number of rallies that have been held.
