Google Fiber is the best of what Google claims to represent. The citizens of Kansas City sure are lucky:
"It’s easy to forget how revolutionary high-speed Internet access was in the 1990s. Not only did broadband kill the screeching sound of dial-up, it also spurred innovation, helping to create amazing new services as well as new job opportunities for many thousands of Americans. But today the Internet is not as fast as it should be. While high speed technology exists, the average Internet speed in the U.S. is still only 5.8 megabits per second (Mbps)—slightly faster than the maximum speed available 16 years ago when residential broadband was first introduced."
It's too bad that government bureaucracies dictated by mega corporations make this type of progress so difficult in the USA. South Korea's average household internet speed is 17.5Mbps. A 100Mbps connection in South Korea costs only $38 a month. Sheesh.
