Faster than the broadband played 30 times, Google Fiber out cable but Wireless-Optical Broadband-IT information

IT news , August 15, 2012, Google in the United States showed for the first time in Kansas City Google Fiber optical access services, speeds up to 1Gbps, equal to United States average broadband speeds of up to 30 times as much, appallingly fast.

However, Google Fiber project progresses smoothly far from Google expected, first of all is the cost too high, followed by excavation of fibre needed roads and even through private courtyard, it has also attracted a lot of popular discontent.

City of Palo Alto near San Francisco, qiaonasen·Lei, Chief Technology Officer of Chester had revealed that Google fiber Department executives have told them, Google Fiber introduced in Palo Alto and nearby cities planned to be put on hold for at least 6 months. In addition, the San Jose, California, and Portland, Oregon fiber laid plans had been suspended.

Google is currently seeking local municipal departments, hire other underutilized fiber optic cable instead of fiber-optic or wireless technology. For example, Google recently launched Super WiFi project, hoping for users within 5 to 40 km radius to provide wireless access, convenient suburbs or more network users in remote areas, it is also a reflection of changing Google Fiber project.

比宽带还快30倍的谷歌Fiber玩不下去了：有线无奈变无线 - 光纤,宽带 - IT资讯

IT资讯8月15日消息，2012年谷歌在美国堪萨斯城首次展示Google Fiber光纤接入服务，速率高达1Gbps，相当于当时美国平均宽带速度的30倍之多，速度十分惊人。

不过，Google Fiber项目的进展远没有谷歌预期般顺利，首先就是成本过高，其次铺设光纤需要开挖道路甚至经过私人庭院，这也招致了很多民众的不满。

旧金山附近城市帕洛阿尔托市的首席技术官乔纳森·雷彻斯特就曾透露，谷歌光纤部门高管已经告知他们，Google Fiber引入帕洛阿尔托及附近城市的计划要暂时搁置至少6个月。此外，加州圣何塞和奥勒冈州波特兰市的光纤铺设计划也已经暂停。

谷歌目前正在寻求与当地市政部门合作、租用其他未充分利用光缆或是无线技术来代替光纤。例如，谷歌日前就推出了超级WiFi项目，希望能为半径5至40公里范围内的用户提供无线接入服务，方便郊区或是更偏远地区用户使用网络，这也是Google Fiber项目求变的一种体现。
