So Google Inc is a corporation which is responsible for so much of what is happening on the internet, whether being accessed through a PC or a smartphone, that the internet has almost become synonymous with the brand name. And please don’t try telling me it’s not a brand name—if it has T-Shirts and mugs, I don’t care what way you look at it, it’s the most commercial brand name there is if there ever was one.
And now, Google has delved into the world of Broadband Internet services. This can’t possibly come as a shock. Looking at the chessboard maneuvers of the corporate strategy Google is trying to pull, it was pretty obvious for anyone following their moves across the board to understand that the next agenda was to put one over Broadband providers and take those little black and white colored boxes too.
So It Starts
Back in February of this year, Google announced that it had entered the FTTC market, aka the Fiber to the Curb Market. The news and the claims that followed were that Google would be offering 1GB/sec and that prices would be great. Somewhere in the subtext you could also pinpoint that there were some hints of Google’s unwillingness to swing any way but their own.
In other words, the FCC and congress could do as they liked… and Google Broadband would be just another project in which Google did whatever they liked. Google has known to stick to a neutral ground on most issues that rock US Government boats ( cell phone tracking and PC monitoring being amongst them) so it’s safe to say that there won’t be too much political incorrectness when it comes down to it.
But it also means Google has its eye on the prize- - Net monopoly and domination without any outside interference. And for that end, getting onto the Fiber market is undoubtedly a huge lurch towards the endgame they seem to have mapped out.
A lot on the Line
Its obvious enough Google has a lot riding on this. If they can manage to successfully bring Google Broadband into play then you can rest assure you’ll be seeing them on VolP, landline services, and on interactive TV service providers as well. For most of us this may just seem as a state that’s bound to come along sooner or later. However, the implications are that Google will becomes an unchallenged force in the world of technology, and as history dictates, dictators (whether benign or not) are never a good thing.
But there are hindrances and rough patches that are making it hard for accomplish what they said would come in September. . exceptional broadband internet. Namely, the case is that getting neighborhoods to sign up for the broadband, despite the rates and whatnot, is proving to be a tougher job then first anticipated.
Nonetheless, Google is playing aggressively and managing as much as it can in order to get as many sign ups as possible for the service in Kansas City, the place where they are first attempting to get the Google Fiber going. They’ve even adjusted number of homes in areas to meet their own needs and ensure neighborhoods can get the service. September is here, now let’s just see how effectively Google can get its stuff out there and working.
