VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) - With your input, Virginia Beach may be one of possibly several areas across the nation to participate in a fiber broadband trial being conducted by Google.
According to the city, Google is planning to build and test ultra-high speed broadband networks in one or more trial locations across the US. Google's stated intention, according to the city, is to deliver internet speeds of more than 100 times faster that what most Americans have access to today with fiber-to-home connections.
To be considered for the trial, the city must complete a Request for Information (RFI). That's why the city is asking it's citizens to complete a short survey in order to assess the level of interest and support for this type of trial.
Citizens wishing to participate in the survey are asked to visit www.VBgov.com/surveys and select the Google Fiber for Communities survey. Citizens can learn more about the Google Fiber for Communities trial by visiting www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi/public/overview .
