Daniel CalladineWe'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 s

Ex3 oP"Imagine sitting in a rural health clinic, streaming three-dimensional medical imaging over the web and discussing a unique condition with a specialist in New York. Or downloading a high-definition, full-length feature film in less than five minutes. Or collaborating with classmates around the world while watching live 3-D video of a university lecture. Universal, ultra high-speed Internet access will make all this and more possible. We've urged the FCC to look at new and creative ways to get there in its National Broadband Plan – and today we're announcing an experiment of our own."

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."

Daniel AndrlikThis is huge. This is bigger than Buzz, bigger than the Nexus One and bigger than Wave. If Google's trials are successful, they could seriously reshape the standard for the speeds at which Americans access the Internet, specifically around 1 gigabit per second over fiber connections.
From the post:
> Our goal is to experiment with new ways to help make Internet access better and faster for everyone. Here are some specific things that we have in mind:
>
>**Next generation apps:** We 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:** We'll test new ways to build fiber networks, and to help inform and support deployments elsewhere, we'll share key lessons learned with the world.
>
>**Openness and choice:** We'll operate an "open access" network, giving users the choice of multiple service providers. And consistent with our past advocacy, we'll manage our network in an open, non-discriminatory and transparent way.
Guess this settles the question of why Google has been buying up all that dark fiber over the last few years. OK, tech pundits, in the wake of this announcement, do any of you seriously care if Buzz is a flop or not?[^1] Stop opining about social networking sites and "power of social media" (a phrase guaranteed to earn you a punch in the groin from me) and start thinking **big**.
[^1]: For the record, I hope Buzz does well, because it's promoting some very interesting open standards that could revolutionize they way publishers and subscribers interact with each other. -
