Google's fiber-to-the-home network is a magical experiment for the lucky community or communities selected by Google. Longview, Texas hopes to form a community partnership with Google and fly into the future with fiber optics | http://GoogleFiberOpticNetwork.com

Asheville is hoping 2 cities will be selected and we will be a smaller mountainous one with a flatland one like perhaps Durham. Our team is grouping here and blogging on it.

Nothing is FREE folks! Google did not get to where it is by offering anything for free!

I live in Japan currently and I wish I had the speeds this article is talking about. I don't think anyone outside of major metro areas has particularly speedy internet and most people here don't know how to use the internet to begin with!

Would those 8000+ souls living in poverty in Chapel Hill happen to be UNC students or are they not counted as residents?

One hopes Google's entry into the business will result in our crawling out of the bandwidth cave (well behind several other countries,) and help us to begin bringing at least that industry a step closer to world class. We can also hope it may poke some holes in the ripoff cable television boat.

One thing to remember is that folks in other countries get broadband access at speeds much faster AND cheaper than what we pay - I get 5 mbs from Earthlink through Time Warner at $45 a month. In Japan, they get speeds 5 times faster for $9 or $10 a month.

"Google...already has a presence in North Carolina. In 2007, the company chose Lenoir, a city of 58,000 in Caldwell County, as the site for a $600 million data center."
