Google Plans 'Ultra-Fast' Broadband Network
10 February 2010 4:09 PM ET Share


Not content to simply wait for the government to deploy national broadband, Google announced today that it plans to build its own ultra-fast broadband network.

Google says its experimental fiber-optic network will deliver speeds of up to 1 gigabyte per second – or about 100 times faster than what most broadband users have today.

Google will build and test in a small number of trial locations across the United States. "We'll offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people," said Google product manager James Kelly.

Google hopes the faster access will spur developers to create bandwidth-intensive "killer apps" and services.

A statement on Google's official blog provides a glimpse of the possibilities:

"Imagine sitting in a rural health clinic, streaming three-dimensional medical imaging over the web and discussing a unique condition with a specialist in New York. Or downloading a high-definition, full-length feature film in less than five minutes. Or collaborating with classmates around the world while watching live 3-D video of a university lecture. Universal, ultra high-speed Internet access will make all this and more possible."

Google is accepting comments on its proposal until March 26 and says it will announce its target communities later this year.
