Motherboard.tv is reporting that Google is delivering high-speed fiber internet access to the Palo Alto area. The service will be free to faculty and students. Users can expect speeds upwards of 75mbs. Google isn't waiting for the telco companies to improve the Nation's Internet access... they are building their own independent data network. Thus far they have connected a few blessed Silcon Valley communities as well as Kanas City, Kanas. The video below describes the advantages of high speed fibre.
