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. They’ll 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. They’ll offer service at a competitive price to at least

50,000, and potentially up to 500,000 people.

Google’s 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 ultra high-speeds, whether it’s creating new

bandwidth-intensive “Killer apps” and services, or other uses

we can’t yet imagine.

● New deployment techniques: They’ll test new ways to build

fiber networks; to help inform, and support deployment

elsewhere, they’ll share key lessons learned with the world.

● Openness and choice: They’ll operate an “open access”

network, giving users the choice of multiple service providers.

And consistent with their past advocacy, they’ll 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 haven’t even dreamed of, powered by a gig.”

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 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.

Today’s internet V/s Google Fiber!

“It’s 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 today’s 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 you’re there.

And the company was telling “It's not just TV. And it's not just

Internet. It's Google Fiber.”

The Future

● No more waiting:

At 1000 Mb per second, Google Fiber is 100 times faster than

today’s 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 you’re there.

● All your favorite content in one place:

and movies on-demand, and all your favorite Internet content from

Netflix—all in one place. So, whether it’s live, on-demand, or

Online, you can search quickly for and access all of your favorite

programs seamlessly.

● HD never looked this good:

A bigger pipe means less compression. Luckily, Google’s

ultra fast Fiber network has more than enough bandwidth to ensure

you get HD in all its glory ... with nothing left behind.

● Enjoy every view. From every screen:

Google Fiber is both your Internet and TV. It brings together

your devices and gives you the freedom to search record and save

shows without worry. So sit back and relax. For the first time,

Catching all your favorite things is almost easier than missing them.

● Never miss a show again. Or eight:

Record up to eight programs simultaneously, just because you

can. And with an unprecedented two terabytes of storage, you will

never have to worry about having enough space to record your

favorite shows.

● A world of opportunities for you and your community:

The Internet is at its best when entire neighborhoods are

connected at Fiber speeds. That’s why we are committed to

powering up community buildings throughout KC. By joining Fiber,

you’ll also help bring 100 times the possibilities to schools,

emergency facilities, libraries, and more.

● It keeps getting better:

Every day there is more to experience on the web, but to

access it, your Internet connection needs to keep up. That’s why, just

like the web, Google Fiber keeps getting better. And while Google

will make sure your Fiber is always ready for the best the web can

offer, where the Internet goes is up to you.

How to get Google Fiber

We're building our Google Fiber network by demand—fiber

hoods that meet their pre-registration goal will get Fiber service.

Here’s how it works:

Pre-register

• Pre-register by September 9th. You'll pay a $10 pre-registration fee

and submit some basic information.

• Your fiberhood needs to reach its pre-registration goal in order to

qualify for Fiber, so encourage your neighbors to pre-register too.

• Once your fiberhood qualifies, continue to rally your neighbors. The

order of construction within your city will be determined by pre

registration rankings on September 9th.

Choose a package

• After September 9th, you'll be able to choose the service package

that you want.

• To get service, you must choose your package before construction

begins in your fiber hood.

Schedule

• Once we're ready to connect you, we'll get in touch and schedule a

time to build Fiber to your home.

• We’re working hard to install users as quickly as possible. We

expect to connect everyone who has signed up for a Fiber package

no later than the end of 2013.
