Google?s Broadband Network Coming To 850 Stanford University Residences

Earlier this year, Google announced that it would be deploying its own ?experimental? fiber-optic network to at least 50,000 homes, perhaps as many as 500,000. The search giant received a flux of applications from communities across the country, who went at great lengths to show that their city deserved to be Google's guinea pig. Today, Google is announcing that it has partnered with Stanford University to build an ultra-high speed broadband network to the university?s Residential Subdivision, a group of approximately 850 faculty and staff owned homes on campus. The trial will offer the residents Internet speeds up to 1 gigabit per second, which Google says more than 100 times faster than what most people have access to today. Google will begin the implementation in early 2011.
