Goggle builds "Ultra - High - Speed Fiber Networks-------In some places in the U.S.

Goggle production manager James Kelly said in an official bog post today "The response has far exceeded Goggles expectations and reinforces the main thrust behind the initiative. If one message is clear, people all across the country are hungry for better and faster Internet Access.

Goggle has received suggestions from more than 600 municipalities and from more than 190,000 individuals since it opened up a nomination process last February 10, 2010. (Some people did stunts in order to get Goggles attention: One such noteworthy stunt was a mayor who swam with sharks) Goggle did praise their creativity....

The nomination process has closed and after careful review, Goggle expects to announce the chosen community or communities by the end of 2010. The goal is to deliver 1 GB/sec. connections to homes at "Competitive" prices, covering between 50,000 and 500,000 people in the Fiber Optic Trial.


Note: "Competitive Prices"-- that could be very high
 

The post you shared contains interesting information about Google's initiative to build Ultra-High-Speed Fiber Networks in the U.S. back in 2010. Here are the key points from the post:
  • Google's production manager James Kelly mentioned in an official blog post that the response to the initiative had far exceeded Google's expectations. This showed that people across the country were eager for better and faster internet access.
  • Google received suggestions from more than 600 municipalities and over 190,000 individuals during the nomination process that began on February 10, 2010. Some individuals even went to great lengths, like the mayor who swam with sharks, to grab Google's attention. Google appreciated the creativity in these actions.
  • The nomination process has now closed, and Google plans to announce the selected community or communities by the end of 2010. The aim is to provide 1 GB/sec. connections to homes at competitive prices. This initiative aims to cover between 50,000 and 500,000 people in the Fiber Optic Trial.
  • Lastly, it is mentioned that the term "competitive prices" could potentially be high, indicating that the cost of these ultra-high-speed internet connections may not necessarily be low.
It's interesting to reflect on the progress and expansion of high-speed internet access since then, as initiatives like these have paved the way for advancements in internet infrastructure.
