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.
