Google provides free internet connectivity to approximately 270,000 less privileged households according to the plan of Obama administration.
Under the Connect Home initiative of the White House, last summer, the American search engine developer, Google, said it would play its role to connect 275,000 low-income households to the web. Now the organization is fulfilling that promise.
Today Google announced it had outfitted 100 households at the West Bluff public housing complex with a connection provided by its fiber free of charge. The bigger commitment of the company disclosed today is its promise to bring Fiber connectivity free of charge to selected public housing properties in each city where it is offering Fiber facility.
Under the program, the corporate giant will also establish computer laboratories and digital literacy courses for training users of Fiber. Secretary of Department of Housing and Urban Development, Julian Castro, who collaborated with Californian business on the launch in Kansas City, mentioned his excitement in a tweet.
Though this effort, the company can play its crucial role in the closure of digital division that is still afflicting the U.S. During his tenure in office, President Barak Obama is substantially progressing to connect more persons, especially schoolchildren, to the web through ConnectEd program, which is aiming to provide broadband access to 99% of the students in the class by 2018. With Connect Home, he is hoping to provide the same facility to homes in the US.
Google is not only willing to collaborate with the American government but also taking on the challenge itself. Connecting more people could also boost the core business of Google in the long-run as it is happening. Not only will it establish Fiber as the favorite internet service provider for many Americans, it will also succeed in getting more Americans who are using the internet, which necessarily makes him/her a user of Google.
Bringing all Americans online is an important objective of the administration of Barak Obama, which views access to internet as a measure for providing new job opportunities to jobs seekers, who are required to access the web to file applications for jobs and improve education for school-age pupils.
Google said its Fiber would eventually provide a 1 GBPS connection to 1300 houses in Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri, free of charge. Whereas many experts have agreed that 1 GBPS connection is overkill for average users of broadband, it is an aspirational standard, which demonstrates that broadband providers are interested in pushing the technology limits for providing customers with the highest level of speed.
