We are loving using this as source material at the Broadcast Asia exhibition in Singapore this week. Using it to show our new scan converter. cindy
HAHA. I live here and NEVADA city does NOT have everything a big city has. NOT EVEN CLOSE. Its more like the exact opposite. They don’t even have reflective road signs.
That’d be ironic if you guys get it because my dad runs the National Hotel but still dosen’t even have an email account! Ha!
Great job trying to bring this fantastic opportunity to Nevada County. With such a diverse population in such a rural area, it seems like the BEST place for Google to test.
YEAH 95959! Best Place on Earth.
It would be such a community benefit to have Google Fiber here. I’m on the board of NCTV, our local community access TV station, and we are rarin’ to go with new community-oriented digital media projects that would capitalize on fiber connectivity. So many people here don’t have either cable broadband or DSL, and are stuck with dial-up or poorly working satellite broadband. Please Google, pick us! Pick us!
wow your cool lady, put a cork in it!
Awesome video, GREAT community. Nevada City is the coolest town you’ve never heard of.
Awesome video! Nevada County’s a perfect fit for Google Ultra high speed internet!
Nice job, Nevada County!! Tech meets the foothills — and wouldn’t Google staff just love to come vacation –uh, I mean work up here!
Awesome!!!!
Excellent job, Nevada County. You shine!
I think this video speaks tons about our passion in this community for The Internet and all that can be accomplished by all of the talented people who reside here. This is not a typical small rural County in California. Just Google us Google! Check us out. We need to team up! Let’s make history together.
Great pitch. Covers all the areas of users in the county.
Great job guys!
When you ask your phone company how far you are from a digital switcher and they laughingly say, “About 50 years.”, you KNOW IT”S TIME FOR GOOGLE TO PICK NEVADA COUNTY!!!
As a former Stanford high-speed backbone network engineer, I can say unequivocally that Nevada City is the ideal site for Google’s rural gigabit initiative.
Nevada City — because of the unusually high technical skill level within its community — would provide an opportunity for rapid deployment, as well as a rich environment for tracking and measuring the success of the initiative ongoing.
We’re a technically supersaturated solution ripe for an economic phase-change!
Yeah, let’s bring Google Fiber to Nevada City! We are the Silicon Valley of the Sierra foothills! We really need the help. Help spread the word by showing this video to your friends!
Great video!!! Congratulations to everyone involved.
Hey Google! Choose Nevada County! We are the perfect model of a spirited, innovated community that leverages intellectual content to connect the world – whether via video or telecommunications.

Awesome, hey Glady and Larry, Good Luck All!
I am so impressed by the overall quality of this video. Everyone did an amazing job. Makes me proud to live in western Nevada County. I want to be able to ditch the dialup *crosses fingers*
I don’t know why I trust them , but I do.
Great job!
Great job! Congratulations and good luck to you and to all of us.
From yet another Nevada County based small Internet business: We hope Google listens…
I love google becouse of google.
They care more about the consumer then all the other company’s.
They spend the money well in huge investments to make the world a better technological place.
Google made me smarter with providing me the information I need as a person to become the person I want me to be.
So google if you read this. Take this information like you always do. It’s not illegal to listen to people.
Give people the full control in interest, knowledge and care on all subjects.
