Google is planning to launch an experiment that we hope will make Internet access better and faster for everyone.
Google plans to test ultra-high speed broadband networks in one or more trial locations across the country. Their networks will deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today, over 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections. They’ll offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people.
From now until March 26, Google is asking interested municipalities to provide information about their communities through a Request for information (RFI), which will be used to determine where Google will build their network.
The City of Round Rock feels it would be a great location for Google to test its new service, and we are looking for your help in providing some documentation to give to Google. How can I help?
1) Take our survey (powered by Google spreadsheets)
The best way you can help is by taking our Google Fiber for Communties survey.
This brief survey will help Google understand how motivated our community is to participate in the test and will also give them some basic information about the current lay-of-the-land in Round Rock with regard to highspeed Internet access.
