We Want Google to Come to Worcester!

Google wants to install an ultra high-speed broadband network in cities across America - AND we want them to come to Worcester! Google's new network is expected to deliver Internet speed more than 100 times faster than what most Americans can access today and offer service at a competitive price.

    • Download a high definition, full-length fil in less than 5 minutes.
    • Collaborate with classmates around the world while watching live 3-D video of a university lecture.
    • Digitize large volumes of information quicker.
  • Revolutionary use of technology with unprecedented scale and speed.
  • Access to groundbreaking applications from Google and partners.
  • Increased opportunities for a new and existing companies and industries.
