Google to make Fiber Network!
Here I am sitting in my office reading the New York Times Business Section, and what do I find? Google has announced on its corporate blog that they will begin building and testing a fiber optic broadband network. The blog also said that Google will potentially make the network available to some 500,000 people.
“Our goal is to experiment with new ways to help make Internet access better and faster for everyone,” two Google product managers, Minnie Ingersoll and James Kelly, wrote in the blog post.
And if you know anything about Google, this will be no simple network, Google is already coming up with applications that will become available on the networking including Hi-Def Movie Downloads, and 3-D Medical Images.
With this very aggressive move, Google is once again repositioning itself to be a Telecommunications GIANT! With Applications like G-mail, Google Wave, Google Maps, Google Voice, Google Docs, Google Books, among others, this Google Fiber Network on top if its new Android Phone will once again put them in a very powerful position.
