Indeed the Blacksburg Electronic Village was the town portion of it


"By late 1995, local Internet entrepreneurs were ready to start offering local Internet access, and the BEV turned over its modem pool customers to the private sector, creating jobs and new economic development opportunities in the region.

In 1998, the BEV turned over its residential Ethernet operations to the private sector, again creating new jobs and new business opportunities in the region. By late 1997, there were at least 24 new high tech businesses in the Blacksburg area providing a wide range of Internet services, consulting, hardware, and programming services."
