Google’s Super Network

Especially since I can’t get Fios at my home, I’d like one please.

Google said it would use fiber optic lines to the home, the same technology used by many telecommunications companies, but declined to give details about whether it would build, buy or rent such services and how much the venture would cost.

The move, which follows successful and aborted attempts to launch wireless Internet networks in some U.S. cities, could put Google in direct competition with the likes of AT&T Inc and Verizon Communications Inc, although one analyst did not see the move as a new stand-alone business for the search company.

    Don’t get too excited, Google has been buying up dark fiber for years…most times it’s just to make sure they have the backbone to their datacenters. No FTTH (fiber to the home) for you!
