Want 1 GB/s internet speed at your Home? Ask Google to Wire Your Town
Do you want 1 GB/s internet speed at your home? This might be possible if Google’s current fiber internet plan comes to life.
A few years back when Google was working on a fiber optics cable project, there were lots of rumors that Google was going to be a high speed internet provider; but nothing ever came of it.
Until today that is. After much of anticipation, Google announced they are planning to launch high speed fiber internet connections for at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people. Google is also planning to keep the costs competitive for this high speed internet connection so that it isn’t restricted to businesses.
They are looking for people from different areas to nominate their hometowns and communities for this new fiber internet service. From now until March 26th you can tell Google why your hometown should take part in the program, and at this stage it doesn’t matter where you live in the states. You, and your local government leaders, can submit feedback to Google and plead your case for a 1 GB / second internet connection.
From Google’s blog
We plan to test ultra-high speed broadband networks in one or more trial locations across the country. Our networks will deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today over 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections. We’ll offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people.

Woo !!!! That's great information for us , we hardly get few kpbs speed of Internet access though it is called broadband network. In work place as well as in Home we access the internet speed a few kpbs only even after paying hefty amount monthly for broadband network service thru major Internet service provider. The major concern is what will be cost for 1 Gbps speed for FTTH of Google? That matter to the consumer/ subscriber for same.
If the cost factor is very nominal then we could start creating a big chunk of subscriber in one of metro city of India initially and gradually spread to other townships in our country.

IMPRESIVE. I requested Wilmington.
Thanks for the info.
I request Rochester, NY. We have several large Nationally recognized colleges, including Rochester Institute of Technology and U of Rochester and Strong hospital.
More importantly, Time Warner Cable and Frontier telephone have a strangle hold on this city and they both suck. There are forums everyday with Rochesterians admitting they'd jump from Time Warner or Frontier in packs.
This city is a hot bed of technology and would be a plethora of faithful customer, begging for better service than we currently get.
