Google plans a test that will provide 50,000 to 500,000 people with fiber-optic broadband internet access with the speed of a gigabit per second soon this year. They said that they are planning to test the ultra high speed broadband in a small number of trial location across the states. The speed they delivered is more than a 100 times faster than what Americans have access today. Their goal is to experiment with new ways to help make internet access better and faster for everyone. They also said that broadband is a major driver of new jobs, businesses and high speed internet access must be much more widely available. Google suggested trials of gigabit per second Net access in comment to the Federal Communications Commission's National Broadband Plan, but Google then realize that itself could be a catalyst. Google will offer the broadband access "at competitive prices," Kelly said in the video about the project
