Got Google Fiber?

As I was munching down on a delicious tuna melt today I glanced over at the news paper (which I hardly ever read) and saw the infamous Google logo blasted on the front page. So naturally, a tech savvy 20-something guy like me HAD to pick it up.

If I didn’t it would have been like a nerd reading comic books without glasses…

Google’s Plan For World Domination

Anyways, Google is looking for some new guinea pigs to test out some powerful new fiber optics capable of 1 gigabit per second. That’s 100x times faster than the Internet you are using right now.

Apparently this is making the nation run wild with excitement and causing people to commit random acts of stupidity, YouTube videos, Facebook fan campaigns and more.

• Locally here in Fresno our mayor Ashley Swearengin has been a Facebook fan campaigner.

• In Duluth, Minn the mayor jumped into 35° Lake Superior water to get Google’s attention.

• Topeka, Kansas even temporarily renamed the city Google!

Man, I can’t help but think people are freakin’ crazy for Google. While Google is an awesome company I can’t help but think there must be some alterior motives behind Google’s strategic move of their Queen piece.

You see, if Google installs and owns the faster fiber optic networks in the world, or for now just in the USA then they could not only command any price they wanted but they would systematically shut Comcast and DSL out of business creating one of the most ingenious Monopolies in the history of the world.

And that would make Google not only the largest Internet based company but the largest ISP in the world. And what could be smarter for the Internet mogul than to literally control the Internet?

I’m not saying these are Google’s intentions because they claim it is going to be an open service, meaning they want to share it with other ISPs, but I’m not saying they’re not either…

I just find it rather suspicious that Google is keeping extremely hush hush about their operations in this area. Hardly any specifics have been given.

Here’s what Google has to say…

Back To Reality

There is a lot of misunderstanding of what Google Fiber actually is. It’s not like if you get this in your local city that you will instantly see lightening fast speeds of 1 gigabit per second because speeds would likely only be realized within the network itself and data coming in off servers located outside the network would experience a bottleneck type of effect.

However, on the bright side the creation of an ultra high speed network would stimulate the growth and development of “super apps”. This would show the rest of the world and businesses that it was worth building and hopefully would make other companies pick up the ball and throw.

Google wants to create financial justification for the rest of the industry with this project. The creation of such a high speed network would result in things like streaming HD video, remote data storage, and long distance learning and real time multi-media collaboration that most people can’t even fathom right now.

But for those of you that work in your underwear like I do everyday, it’s already a reality for you. And probably feel like it should have been done already. Be patient my friend, it is coming…

Another Google Speculation

Since we already have thousands of WiFi hot spots, how hard would it really be to make the entire Internet go wireless?

I mean, when the world converted from dial-up to cable we had to tear up streets, destroy trees and backyards, costing hundreds of man hours. And not only that but the transition was completed only a few years ago. Now Google wants to repeat the process with bigger wires?

Aren’t we at the point in technology where we don’t need to be hardwired anymore?

Cell phones do it. My iPhone can get on the Internet just about ANYWHERE in the world without a problem. So why can’t we do that for computers around the world too?

Wouldn’t it just be a means of upgrading the cell towers to support a faster WiFi signal?

Then again maybe technology isn’t at the point to support a gigabit per second over WiFi? Or is it?

Anyways, I’ve had fun playing both sides of the equation here and now I want to hear your thoughts. Tell me what you think in the comments section below.

I would love to hear from you.

Speak soon,
