According to reports from San Francisco and Los Angeles, Internet search giant Google is looking to revolutionize Internet use by attempting to build a network which enhance net access for users by almost 100-times faster speed than the currently-available network.

Announcing its proposal in a Wednesday blog post, Google said that it aims at building fiber-optic networks, initially for nearly 500,000 Internet users, offering them one-gigabit-per-second connections – thereby implying that the new network will boast a 20-times faster speed than the fastest residential connections provided by AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast; and over 1,000-times faster than the cheapest connections.

As per reports, Google’s high-speed fiber optic network, which would mark the company’s foray into an arena that has thus far been strongly controlled by telecommunications carriers, will become available by 2011.

Noting that Google calls broadband as the “dial tone of the 21st century” and is banking on broadband access to extend its Internet domain, Minnie Ingersoll, a product manager, revealed that the high-speed fiber-optic network will first be tested in certain cities and counties.

Elaborating that Google will pay for the deployment of the service, Ingersoll added: “We’ve been working with the FCC to advocate that the US needs to make really bold, concrete moves to accelerate broadband deployment. This is our attempt to put our money where our mouth is.”
