Google Fiber plans to build three more cities with 1Gbps network speed
Kaivps reported on November 2, according to foreign reports, Alphabet is currently starting to introduce its high-speed optical fiber Internet access service to three other cities in the United States. The company has previously launched high-speed optical fiber services in six cities in the United States.
Alphabet's Google (Weibo) Fiber said that the company is currently negotiating with government officials in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Jacksonville, Florida, and Tampa to decide whether to provide Google fiber services to them.
Google has reorganized the company into Alphabet in order to bring greater independence to its affiliated businesses. Google Fiber is one of Alphabet's important businesses, providing 1Gbps broadband, which is 100 times the average broadband network speed in the United States. Google Optical has previously provided services in six regions, including Kansas City, Austin, Texas, Provo, Utah, San Diego, Louisville, and Irvine, California.
According to the information on the official website of Google Optical Fiber, the reason for choosing the above three cities is that they belong to the technology center of the United States. Jill Szuchmacher, director of Google's optical fiber expansion department, said, "These growing technology centers have a strong entrepreneurial spirit and are committed to helping small businesses develop." She pointed out that Jacksonville has now become one of the top ten technology centers in the United States, while Oklahoma City is considered the first choice for entrepreneurship in the United States.
Google Fiber is very expensive. Google must dig a way to bury optical fiber, or lay optical fiber through poles. Analysts expect that the average cost of Google Fiber to enter the home will exceed $500. Before committing to provide Google Fiber service to a city, Google Fiber will evaluate whether local governments are willing to limit costs and simplify administrative licensing.
