Google announced plans to install a gigabit fiber to the home (FTTH) internet in select communities, up to a total of 500,000 people. Think about that...you could essentially work from home at the same network speeds as the gigabit ethernet at work; in many cases, it would be faster, as some workplace networks still operate at the 100 megabit speed.
They're asking governments and people to nominate and explain why they should pick their city to install FTTH.
Very exciting news; more exciting than yesterday's announcement of Google Buzz, I think.
