Google offers a basic broadband package free of charge and 1Gbps for $70 per month. You can add an additional TV package for $120 per month. By offering these packages at ludicrous prices, Google is undercutting the competition extensively. While Google is already a strong competitor in the areas of limited service, this could be a bad news for companies that are trying to compete in those sectors.
Detailed information was requested about the potential cities for candidacy; such as information about addresses, building structures, and various outdoor obstacles such as utility poles and sewer access. The candidates have until May 1st to respond to Google to decide if they want Google’s Internet services.

In addition to this, Google is looking for the cities to give them information about the possible locations for a number of “huts” which may be in situ for approximately 20 years or so. It is these huts that will house all of the required equipment for the Google network. As soon as all of the required information has been received, Google will then make a decision on which sites to go ahead with.
