23 Apr Google Fiber Helping to Rebuild Louisville
Google will use the $3.84 million to start removing fiber cables and sealant from roads, repaving roads, and removal of any aboveground infrastructure. Google plans to have everything done in 20 months. Back in 2010, Google disrupted the telecom industry when it announced fiber-to-the-home internet service. They predicted that speeds were up to 100 times faster than average speeds and speeds up to a gigabit per second. “It’s clear that Google Fiber’s presence in Louisville led other providers to step up and increase investment in Louisville, and that was good news for consumers everywhere,” said Grace Simrall, LMG’s chief of civic innovation and technology, in a statement. “Moreover, we appreciate Google Fiber’s donation to our digital inclusion work, because improving equity in access to technology and digital skills is essential for Louisville’s economy today and tomorrow.”
