INTRODUCTION
Google Fiber is offering an Internet connection speed 100 times faster than today's
average broadband. Instant downloads. Crystal clear high definition TV and endless
possibilities. Google is planning to build, and test ultra-high speed broadband networks in a
small number of trial locations across the country. Theyll deliver Internet speeds more than
100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today with 1 Gigabit per second,
fiber-to-home connections. Theyll offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000, and
potentially up to 500,000 people.
Googles goal is to experiment with new ways to help make Internet access better,
and faster for everyone. Here are some specific things that they have in mind:

Next generation apps: They want to see what developers and users can do with ultrahigh-speeds, whether its creating new bandwidth-intensive Killer apps and

services, or other uses we cant yet imagine.

New deployment techniques: Theyll test new ways to build fiber networks; to help
inform, and support deployment elsewhere, theyll share key lessons learned with the

world.
Openness and choice: Theyll operate an open access network, giving users the
choice of multiple service providers. And consistent with their past advocacy, theyll
manage the network in an open, nondiscriminatory, and transparent way.
Google Fiber

connections

will

come

into

metropolitan

areas

through

multiple aggregators. From these points, fiber optic cables will branch out and run into
neighborhoods and individual residences, providing FTTH (fiber to the home) service. Much
of the cable will be strung on new and existing utility poles; some of it will be buried. No
more buffering. No more loading. No more waiting, the company notes on its blog.
Imagine: instantaneous sharing; truly global education; medical appointments with 3D
imaging; even new industries that we havent even dreamed of, powered by a gig.

1.1. History of Google Fiber

Google Fiber is a project to build an experimental broadband internet network
infrastructure using fiber-optic communication in Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City,
Missouri; the location was chosen following a competitive selection process. Over 1,100
communities applied to be the first recipient of the technology. In March of 2011, Google
1

announced that Kansas City, Kansas will be the first community where the new network
would be deployed.
After building an infrastructure of the network, in July of 2012, Google announced
pricing for Google Fiber. The service will offer three options. These include a free
broadband internet option, a 1Gbps internet option and a version that includes television
service. Neighborhoods that receive the service will be selected through demand from
Kansas City area residents and Google has set up a website to pre-register for the service.
The first homes are expected to be connected in September of 2012.

1.2. Todays internet V/s Google Fiber

Its easy to forget how revolutionary high-speed Internet access was in the 1990s,
the company said. Not only did broadband kill the screeching sound of dial-up, it also
spurred innovation, helping to create amazing new services as well as new job opportunities
for many thousands of Americans. But today the Internet is not as fast as it should be.
Google noted that the average Internet speed in the U.S. is only 5.8 megabits per second
(Mbps), which is a slight uptick in speed first made available by residential broadband 16
years ago.
At 1000 Mb per second (1Gbps), Google Fiber is 100 times faster than todays
average Internet, allowing you to get what you want instantaneously. You no longer have to
wait on things buffering; everything will be ready to go when you are. So whether you are
video chatting, uploading family videos, or playing your favorite online games, all you need
to do is click and youre there. And the company was telling It's not just TV. And it's not
just Internet. It's Google Fiber.
