Prineville Datacenter Is Not Yahoo or Google -- So Who Is It?

A couple months ago stories broke about a datacenter that was going to be opening up in Prineville. A new article in today's Bulletin confirms it's not Google or Yahoo! and that work on the site is already under way. There is a thought that the name of the company behind Vitesse (the company that's doing all the dealings with Prineville) might be released on Thursday.

Anybody have any new theories or information?

Update: From the Oregonian, all will be revealed tomorrow, but if anybody wants to blow their NDA (which, from what I hear expires tomorrow at noon), feel free to comment below.

Let me correct myself... It sounds like the Governor is going announce it tomorrow...so those who want to guess should! I'm guessing that the real company name will be leaked before it happens...but I'm not going to be the one to do it!
