Google Fiber-Optic Pilot Program
What’s all this about?
Google is looking for places around the country to test its ultra-fast broadband internet. Â This networks will deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today via a 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connection. They say their service will be offered at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people.
From now until March 26th, Google is accepting submittals for its Request for information (RFI), which will help them decide where to put the test network. They are also asking community members to chime in and nominate their areas. Fill out a nomination form, talk to your neighborhood organizations, write letters to the editor, tell your friends, put it on twitter, call in to the radio stations… Let’s not allow this opportunity to pass without giving our fullest effort!
