Going Google: in more ways than one

Filed under: Network Admin — Tim @ 5:55 pm

So Google has announced it’s plans to test “ultra high-speed broadband networks” in “one or more trial locations” in the US, and the (high) band(width) wagon is already getting crowded!

 Google wants to do this fast, so the more cooperative the municipality comes across, the better the chances are they will be selected.

 Google mentioned “bandwidth-intensive killer apps” and you can bet the communities that are chosen will get to see some of them.

Here are some of the interested parties:

Seattle, WA  -  Columbia, MI  -  Duluth, MN - Madison, WI
