#Which city is getting Google's ultrafast Internet? Congratulations denizens of Austin, Texas, Google Fiber--the company's blazing fast gigabit broadband service--is coming to your city.
After some speculation, Google officially announced today that Austin would indeed become the second metropolitan area to get the service after the company first built up the infrastructure in Kansas city and surrounding communities,
where homes are already enjoying Internet speeds that are 100 times faster than the average broadband service.
Google will offer the same service to Austin as it does for Kansas city residents. They have the option for gigabit Internet
or a combination package that includes Google Fiber TV. Slower Internet service is also available with no monthly fees
only a onetime installation charge. Google plans to begin installing the service in Austin homes next year.
Public institutions will also get connected to the super-fast Internet free of charge. And while it is developed only fully in one city
and planned for another, the Wall street journal says cable companies have reason to be worried. By offering Google Fiber,
which costs $120 a month for high-speed Internet and TV and $70 a month for just Internet, the company may show cable operators it can work around them, if needed.
It could also get Google greater say in future industry regulation including issues of net neutrality,
or the idea Internet providers should treat all data equally. Also among Google Fiber's offerings is slower Internet access that is free after a $300 fee.
With an aspirational service, Google could be trying to demonstrate how the Internet would look in an ideal, consumer-focused, world.
At least one other company is up for Google's challenge. Not long after the Google announcement, AT&T also announced an investment in a gigabit network in Austin.
Why are drawn these companies to Austin? It s a mecca for creativity and entrepreneurialism, with thriving artistic and tech communities,
as well as the University of Texas and its new medical research hospital, Google said in a statement.
We re sure these folks will do amazing things with gigabit access. Google Prepares for Fiber Warfare Wall street journal Photo:

#White house launches nationwide broadband testbed The White house made two big announcements yesterday in an effort to boost broadband development in the United states. The first was an executive order by President Barak Obama calling
on federal agencies to simplify the process for allowing private companies to lay new network infrastructure.
With a dig once approach, the executive order also aims to help carriers conduct broadband deployments in conjunction with other road construction projects.
This strategy will purportedly reduce deployment costs by up to 90 percent. The second White house announcement was the launch of U s. Ignite.
U s. Ignite is a new nonprofit public/private partnership convened to help bring together network providers
software developers, and Internet users to create next-generation broadband applications. The partnership includes 25 cities around the country,
Not surprisingly, among the regions hoping to pilot U s. Ignite efforts are some of our favorite gigabit sites,
However, long-time broadband reporter and analyst Om Malik says he's feeling a little blase about the news. He notes out that many of the best inventions (Youtube
Facebook, Twitter) come from turning resources over to everyday users, rather than directing them toward big, possibly unwieldy partnerships.
#Who will control the Internet?(Who will pay for it? And you thought SOPA and PIPA were bad.

the future of the largely free and open Internet we enjoy today. The last time this group assembled was 1988,
when the consumer Internet was nascent at best. Today, the Internet is the backbone for economies, connected technologies of all kinds and free speech.
The many stakeholders that will be in attendance are scheduled to discuss the future of Internet services, specifically around how they are paid for.
Who will pay to maintain the Internet as traffic continues to surge? What about razor-thin margins in Europe?
And what of network neutrality, when many U s. companies enjoy monopolies in their markets?)But the elephant in the room is the potential for one major player--Russia,
some suggest--to insist on changing the fundamental oversight of the Internet, thus possibly threatening its unfettered, decentralized, apolitical growth with censorship and regulation.
Obviously, that's a big problem for a future that involves an Internet of things, in which devices of all kinds are connected smart

Bloomberg Businessweek reports. An RSS reader pulls in feeds of articles from various websites. Created six years ago,

#Google s Unified Privacy Policy Draws Threat Of $15m Fine In The netherlands The national data protection authority in The netherlands has warned Google that it could be fined up to $15 million
Google January 2012 decision to combine the privacy policies of some 60 different products in order for it to be able to gather more intel on webs users for targeting ads quickly triggered a data protection review in October 2012
launching probes into Google handling of personal data in April last year. The Dutch data protection authority, the CBP, has evidently run out of patience with Google.
In a statement earlier this week, the CBP said it requires Google to gain unambiguous consent from users to combine multiple privacy policies across its products specifying that this consent cannot be gained by a general agreement to a privacy policy
but must be done ia a clear permission screen Google must also clearly explain what personal data is being obtained by which of its services and for what purpose,
and this information must be clearly and consistently conveyed in its privacy policy, it said.
The CBP is concerned also that Youbube be labeled clearly as a Google service albeit the Dutch DPA notes that Google seems to have taken already action on this point.
Commenting in a statement, CBP president Jacob Kohnstamm said: oogle captures us in an invisible web of our personal information without telling us that
and without asking our permission. This has been running since 2012 and we hope that our patience will no longer be put to the test.
The CBP does add that Google has sent a letter to the six data protection authorities which launched reviews namely France, Germany, Italy, Spain,
whether Google proposed measures would resolve its privacy violations. Responding to the Dutch threat of a fine a Google spokesperson told Techcrunch via email:
ee disappointed with the Dutch data protection authority order, especially as we have made already a number of changes to our privacy policy in response to their concerns.
