Google is planning to launch an experiment that they hope will make Internet access better and faster for everyone. They plan to test ultra-high speed broadband networks in one or more trial locations across the country. Their networks will deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today, over 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections. They'll offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people. Learn more
From now until March 26th, Google is asking interested municipalities to provide them with information about their communities through a Request for information (RFI), which they will use to determine where to build their network.
We need your help to let Google know why Columbus is the perfect place for their fiber network! Please nominate Columbus now, and send your videos and testimonials to Paul Anthony, Marketing Director of TechColumbus at panthony@TechColumbus.org.
