Internet Infrastructure infrastructure Community Reinvestment

shared by Jeffrey Kendall on 03 Mar 10 - Cached
  • The unusual move comes as several U.S. cities elbow for a spot in Google's new "Fiber for Communities" program. The Web giant is going to install new Internet connections in unannounced locations, giving those communities Internet speeds 100 times faster than those elsewhere, with data transfer rates faster than 1 gigabit per second.
  • Google declined to comment on whether it's taking the whole "Google, Kansas" thing seriously.

      Companies always complain about competition when it's too late and they've already missed the band wagon. These other companies have had chances even if it was small and incremental to make improvements to their broadband offerings and they chose not too. They also had an opportunity to bid for this stimulus money and unfortunately they did not receive it. If they had they would not be complaning right now.
  • These local phone and cable companies fear that they will have to compete with governmentsubsidized broadband systems, paid for largely with stimulus dollars. If the taxpayer-funded networks siphon off customers by offering lower prices, private companies might be less likely to upgrade their lines, endangering jobs and undermining the stimulus plan's goals, they warn.

      this is similar to Googles plan to introduce gigabit service to smaller cities on a limited scale to see if the results are profitable. I will be interesting to see if these underdeveloped areas really do take advantage of this service or if it will be lost on them.

  • Many existing systems, they note, lack the capacity to meet mush rooming demand for bandwidth. The new, stimulus-funded networks will provide far more-robust connections - many of them offering speeds of up to 100 megabits or even 10 gigabits per second to schools, libraries and other "anchor institutions." That's 20 to 2,000 times faster than the DSL and cable wires linking most U.S. homes.

    It is amazing how far phone services have come. The fact that you can download from 5 Mbps to 12 Mbps over you phone. That is faster than many high speed internet providers
