Coming Soon from Google: Private Fiber Optics to the Home

[linagee]

Video posted in 2009 and they are just doing this now? Wow.

[magoospot2005]

I'm so interested but this idiot makes me sleep

[zellfyre]

of america wants to compete it needs better internet

[littlewalk]

you are boring motherfucker

ehh umm ehh umm scratch scratch ehh umm ehh umm

Our business gets 250mbps up & down fiber optic from Fastmetrics.

Metro area network with Ethernet.

Great video on the future of fiber optics Derek! Working as an Analyst for Google must be a challenging and rewarding job. Longview, Texas is ready to experiment with fiber-to-the-home with Google. We're currently underserved in the ISP space, yet we have lots of dark fiber underground layed by Verizon, AT&T and CenturyTel, now CenturyLink. We a growing community located between two major markets - Dallas and Shreveport. It's about time the giant stepped up to the telcos in the United States!

This is mixing stuff. Rural people do buy wires, but still rent service in a same way like urban area folks.

They only have an additional initial cost to implement the service, and afterwards it's the same, they still pay for impulses and subscription.

In a same manner, install your own fiber optic infrastructure, and you still have to pay a provider for a traffic in some way.

Let's do it! Tell us how.

Screw fibre, wireless is the future!

Soon everyone will have a wireless "router" that will be directly connected to the "internet".

No ISPs or Telcoms will be needed.

Each wireless "router" will have it's own unique IP address.

With these wireless "routers" will be able to setup a website on their own PC's or servers.

Either the "internet" will use everyones "routers" to bounce signal around the world, or satellites will be used.

my rss reader already states that 2TBps wireless has arived

Why not set up transmitter towers all meshed with these 2Tbps connections, then allow the photonic wifi signal now used for wirelessHDMI, to all routers, and the wifi routers could do the rest. The same photonic tech could be used to help satelights provide a backup connection to the transmiter towers or those in romote locations such as in africa. Fiber could do the rest especially in urban highrise areas. fiber costs $60 per meter

Hive population collapse would be my only tentative answer.

The relationship is only a theory at this point, but it seems more likely than pesticides since the same pesticides have been in use for a few decades without the problems we've seen in the last few years.

[DavidWillB]

Might have to stick with wired, if the theorized relationship with certain wavelengths and hive population collapse becomes proven.

If it is a choice between a slight increase of convenience of internet and the ability to grow many types of food, I think the species should go with the food.

[joegocal]

do you know anything about networking?

[dstone2004]

I've set up small networks with Windows Server.

What I wrote about in my post above doesn't exist yet, afaik.

[dylanfleck]

with fiber optics the imformation you send out is as fast as the speed of light because it is light. Wireless is slower and cant be used on every thing. Wires slow down the conection becuase of the copper wiring inside all fiber optics is is just light sending signals

[PaulCynic]

This sounds like both a viable and for me--exciting--solution to the current monopoly system in place. Comcast is one of the worst monopolies, and I'd love the opportunity to receive quality service at cable or greater speeds from anyone of my choosing, without having to pay a premium for not going with Comcast but still receiving the exact same services. Love this!

[LastXdeth]

@PaulCynic AT&T is the worst monopoly here in Georgia! AT&T is the only single ISP avaliable.

[Atheistprimate]

He says "ahh" and "uhh" to much.

[2xtream]

Sounds to like Comcast, Verizon, etc dont want to pay for maintaining there system any longer. And the group would experience prices that go up and down for there own service because of people moving in-out etc. Or a community because they work for GM the town dies up leaving you to pay the 5 thousand dollar a month bill. NOPE I dont think I like it. Keep you Scam to yourself. It Stinks. If we wanted that we would just use Satellite that is all ready in place.

Nice Try though but it stinks
