Alexandria, despite its long, rich history, is a progressive city home to both businesses and residents active in developing new technologies, lobbying/regulating new technologies, and associations responsible for finding applications for these new technologies to their constituents. What makes Alexandria even more special is how the city spans cultures, ethnicity, and socio-economic status. Sadly, this rich population has only one alternative when it comes to high speed internet access, and not the choices that many other locales offer, as well as an ideal that America embodies. What better place to test Google's new Fiber for Communities project?
