Google Plans Internet That's 100 Times Faster

Not enough speed from your ISP? Google seems diving into that market too. "We're planning to build and test ultra high-speed broadband networks in a small number of trial locations across the United States. We'll 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.". The goal isn't just to give ultra fast speed to some lucky ones, but rather to test things like new generations of apps, and deployment techniques that take advantage of it.

There have been discussions about Google's purchasing of large amounts of dark fibre from back when we paid to have all it installed in the 90s. These rumors are practically going back to their IPO. I bet this is quite the topic of conversation at Comcast and Verizon.
