Get Involved …. Support Google’s Fiber Optic Network for Green Bay, WI

Internet Giant Google recently announced planning to build and test ultra high-speed broadband networks in a small number of trial

locations across the United States.  According to the announcement page, they plan to deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today with 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections. We plan to offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people. 

According to their page, “Like our WiFi network in Mountain View, the purpose of this project is to experiment and learn. Network providers are making real progress to expand and improve high-speed Internet access, but there's still more to be done. We don't think we have all the answers – but through our trial, we hope to make a meaningful contribution to the shared goal of delivering faster and better Internet for everyone”.

As we are internet based, and greatly depend on fast internet speeds to deliver our High Definition video content, we will be watching this story very closely and have more detailed reports in the future.
