Tech giant Google has announced in a recent blog post that its Google Fiber lightning-fast Internet service will be made available to the residents of “some apartments, condos and affordable housing properties” in San Francisco, California.
The announcement by Google implies that San Francisco is set to become the 22nd metropolitan area in which Google will roll out access to its Fiber service.
Revealing that the impending rollout of the Google Fiber services to some properties in San Francisco is essentially aimed at ensuring that the ultra-fast Internet service is made available to residents more quickly, Google said that, for the move, it will be making use of existing fiber rather than building its own fiber-optic network as it has been doing in the past.
Moreover, Google has also disclosed in the blog post that it is partnering with the Nonprofit Technology Network to bring the Digital Inclusion Fellowship to San Francisco. Under the program, fellows will be hired for teaching basic technology and Internet-usage skills to people, so as to bring about an improvement in their lives.
About its newly announced moves, Google said in the blog post: “Through these efforts, we hope to make the Internet more affordable and accessible for those most affected by the digital divide.”
