Google Fiber Delays Broadband Award To 2011

Posted by timothy on from the hold-your-horses dept.

coondoggie writes "The response to the invitation to become a test market for Google's planned high-speed broadband network has been overwhelming, so much so the company today said it would delay awarding the system until 2011. According to a post in its website, Google said 1,100 communities and 194,000 individuals responded to its proposal. Google had hoped to award the test program this month."

    Google already is an ISP. Haven't you kept up to date: http://www.google.com/tisp/. They have had this out there for awhile. I heard it didn't bowl anyone over. You'd think that a company like Google that is flush with cash could do better.
