Fiber to Your Home? Ask Google!

Google is giving interested municipalities the opportunity to participate in a experiment that could result in much faster Internet connectivity directly to their residents.  March 26th is the magic date that Google will stop taking suggestions from municipalities and residents to bring a Fiber network to their community.  This initiative from Google is interesting especially in my part of the world where both Google and Apple have decided to set up shop with massive data centers to host new technologies.  Less than a month ago Governor Bev Perdue announced that North Carolina will receive $28.2M for broadband recovery [see post] which makes this announcement from Google, a great way to marry the two projects.

Here is the link to the Google “Google Fiber for Communities” page where you can let Google know that you would like to take advantage of their experiment in your community: http://www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi

Here is the YouTube video from Google, explaining the experiment:
