Google to Deliver 1Gb/sec Fiber-Optic Broadband Network in U.S

google gigabite
Google is getting into the broadband business.They are planning to build and test ultra high-speed broadband networks in a small number of trial locations across the United States. They will deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today with 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections. They plan to offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people.Their goal is to experiment with new ways to help make Internet access better and faster for everyone. Here are some specific things that Google's is thinking:

Next generation apps: Google wants to see what developers and users can do with ultra high-speeds, whether it's creating new bandwidth-intensive "killer apps" and services.


New deployment techniques: Google will test new ways to build fiber networks, and to help inform and support deployments elsewhere, They will share key lessons learned with the world.


Openness and choice: Google will operate an "open access" network, giving users the choice of multiple service providers. Google will manage their network in an open, non-discriminatory and transparent way.
