Google has planned to introduce WiFi network service in San Francisco during 2007 in collaboration with Earthlink. The initiative ultimately has gone into vein. Finally another Alphabet subsidiary, Google Fiber has announced introducing high speed gigabit internet service to some select places of San Francisco.
Imagine downloading a HD movie in less than 36 seconds. AT&T has announced that they will be expanding their gigabit-speed fiber Internet service, called GigaPower, to 38 more cities.
Comcast announced this week that it has plans to roll out a next-generation cable technology that will opportune it to compete at the same speed that Google Fiber has, which is 1 gigabit per second.
In what seems to be a radical move, Google Fiber has announced to offer free high-speed internet access to residents of public housing.
One of Google Inc's major business operations could fall under the day-to-day jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission for the first time, potentially subjecting the fast-moving Internet company to regulations it has often criticized.
Google has rolled out its expansion plans for its high speed fiber Internet service called Google Fiber which could possibly be introduced in 34 cities, VentureBeat reported.
Google is said to be developing data transfer speeds of up to 10-gigabits per second, an internet connection that would put to shame the 1-gigabit connection of its Google Fiber offering, NBC News reported.
Analysts said that Google could disrupt the growth of telecommunications companies' internet service provider business model with its massive amount of cash.
Google has 25% share in the internet traffic coming from North America.
