Building a Gigabit Fiber Network Is Real Hard, Even for Google [Google]

[retroremakes]

The WSJ delves into the trials and tribulations of trying to build a gigabit fiber network out to even the 50,000 homes at the low ends of Google's goals for their trial network (http://gizmodo.com/5468670/google-wants-to-test-gigabit-fiber-internet-for-up-to-500000-people). It could cost up to $1 billion, and Google's already mentioning to people it's asking for help, like Case Western Reserve University's Lev Gonick, whose building gigabit fiber to 104 homes, that "we have a lot to learn." Oh boy, sign me up. (Actually, do sign me up.) [WSJ (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703954904575109911233889350.html?m od=WSJ_business_LeftSecondHighlights)]
