Google also announced they will be letting us know about further cities that will be wired up with Google Fiber service soon. This shows that Google Fiber is not just a sandbox they are going to keep in Kansas City, Google Fiber is a real business they will keep expanding. In other exciting news, the FCC wants to see at least one community in each state with 1 Gigabit home service by 2015."

What can you do with 1 Gigabit Google Fibre that you can't do with 20Mbps DSL or 50Mbps Cable internet? Obviously I am talking about residential customers and not data centers or commercial users. Complete overblown PR hype by Google and lovingly covered by media outlets getting on the bandwagon desperate for content to fill their websites and news-cycles.
