Understanding Broadband
Why Is Google Doing This?
o Google’s goal is to move the web forward by offering Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what people have access to today.
o In 2011 we announced Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri as our first communities, and we'll be looking closely at ways to bring ultra high-speeds to other cities in the future.
o Just as the move from dial-up to broadband led to new and unpredictable innovations, we believe ultra high-speed bandwidth will push the web to even greater heights.
• An open, distributed platform for Internet measurement tools
• A server platform for researchers to deploy broadband measurement tools
• Users run tests, get data about their own connection, and provide data back to researchers
• Open platform, open tools, open data• http://www.measurementlab.net/
Launched: January 20096 Tools on 48 servers across 16 sites in US, EU, AU50 million tests run, nearly 300 TB of data
