The latest news from the Fiber team
Introducing our Google Fiber for Communities website
Tuesday, July 13, 2010
(Cross-posted from the
Official Google Blog
.)
In February
we announced
our plans to build experimental, ultra-high speed broadband networks. Over the past several months, our team’s been hard at work reviewing the
nearly 1,100 community responses
to our request for information—not to mention the nearly 200,000 responses from individuals across the U.S.
Throughout this process, one message has come through loud and clear: people are hungry for better and faster Internet access. With that in mind, today we’re launching a new site called
Google Fiber for Communities
, where you can learn more about fiber networks and keep up-to-date on our project. You’ll also be able to
advocate
for common-sense federal and local policies that would help fiber deployments nationwide.
We also wanted to thank every community and individual that submitted a response,
posted a YouTube video
, started a website, joined a rally or otherwise let their voice be heard. We were so honored by the grassroots enthusiasm across the country for this project that we put together a short video to say thank you:
As we explained
back in March
, we plan to name our target community or communities by the end of the year. We still have some work ahead of us before we’re ready to make that announcement, but in the meantime, we hope this site helps to keep the conversation going.
