Google has announced that they would be launching an experimental broadband service across 50,000 to 500,000 people across. The broadband speed would be 1Gbps and would be available at competitive prices, according to Google. If this plan by Google goes through, its broadband network would be 100 times faster than an average US broadband. Compared to back here in India, it certainly sounds heaven!
Google is hoping to make the internet access faster and better for everyone. Google has three key objectives in their mind which it expects to achieve through this experiment. Firstly, Google expects to see some new bandwidth-intensive applications from developers. Secondly, finding new ways to develop fibre networks to help support development elsewhere . Google would share the results with the world. Thirdly, Google would operate an “open-access” network giving users choice of multiple service providers managing the network in an open, non-discriminatory and transparent way.
For now, Google is inviting information from communities and service providers to help them decide on their initial roll-out areas. The forms would be accepted till March 26th and are available HERE. Though the initiative has been introduced in US, its results should definitely benefit fibre network development globally, specially places where the average broadband speeds are still very low.
