Google to build ultra-fast broadband networks
(AP) - 19 hours ago
WASHINGTON - Google plans to build experimental, ultra-fast
Internet
networks in a handful of communities around the country.
The search company said Wednesday that its fiber-optic broadband
networks
will deliver speeds of 1 gigabit per second to as many as 500,000
Americans.
Google
Inc. says those systems will be more than 100 times faster than
the networks
that most Americans have access to today.
In a blog post, the company said the networks will let consumers
download a
high-definition, full-length feature film in less than five
minutes and
allow
rural health clinics to send 3-D medical images over the Web.
Google says it will seek input from communities that might be
interested in
getting one of the testbed networks.
