Three colleges I've worked at were pretty progressive in their monitoring, rate limiting and proactive management of dorm networks; i.e. full bandwidth to campus, i2, etc. destinations but maybe not to other remote locations, automated responses to bad behavior characteristics, etc. I'm far less worried about someone in a dorm launching a full gig of http requests against one IP than a residential computer doing that for 36 hours before someone from Google takes note.

Re: Google to offer fiber to end users
Maybe they're getting their Ideas from the Irish :). Magnet (www.magnet.ie) does a similar thing which started over four years ago. They offer fiber to the home and you can use it for triple-play. I believe when they started the offering, the bandwidth was (initially intended to be) limited only by the end user's equipment and they would pay as you go but it appears now as though they have set the limit to 50 Mbps. There's nothing stopping Google from offering Triple-play with extremely cheap long-distance calls, Internet, and HDTV. That kind of bandwidth could easily be utilised, but what next? Google Thin clients? Very exciting!

Make sure to blog it up so folks can contribute feedback :) This sort of investment could have some immediate payback, esp if you have local utility (water, power) buy-in. Indeed. I was surprised to find how much utility fiber networks exist. I was in a meet me room in down town Los Angeles, and both So Cal Edison and DWP had a presence. I knew that DWP had a fiber network, but wasn't aware SoCal Edison did. Also the city of Burbank power company maintains a fiber network, which links all the studios together. Unfortunately you can't bring dark fiber into the major colo there (Qwest IIRC). However it's quite easy to link any facilities together, and this is heavily utilized by the studios (most of whom have several sites). The challenge I see is having the political will to undertake the project. Hah. Right. Especially with telcos being large campaign contributers. If you adjust rates up over the first few years until the principal is paid off, the payoff could happen in short-order and remain competitive. Mmhmm. And quite frankly, this wouldn't really be necessary if the telcos actually did last mile build outs of fiber at a decent pace. People are very willing to pay for this stuff. It's been proven time and time again. Otherwise the muni folks wouldn't have passed bond measures, started build out and been sued into oblivion by the telcos. That was treated as a last resort, after lack of action by the incumbents. Deploying microcell/picocell technology would be easy and could save people like ATT Mobility/Cingular part of their billions they look to pay for network upgrades. Yep. They should become partners in these efforts and help guide the overall design/requirements etc. Jump in and discuss things like CoS/QoS/e911 etc etc etc. Not to mention considerable expertise in the construction of large scale networks. Alas they won't see it that way :) A large scale project here could possibly be done (on-poles) for as low as $44m, and possibly lower as economies of scale come in to play. Exactly. Especially if the various utility companies can realize the benefit. Smart grid etc. I have no problem with certain amounts of bandwidth being reserved for uses by city governments/ utility corporations who help shoulder the initial build out costs. I'm hoping someone here reading from GOOG will suggest to any local Ann Arbor Alum (eg: Larry Page) that this would be a chump-change investment that would revolutionize telecommunication in the US. It sure could. Far more attractive from a CAPex and OPex perspective.

Maybe it will Enough to DoS hosting providers based on _current_ practices. If 1g FTTH catches on, hosting providers will probably want 10/100 Gigabit transfer technology in a short time. For now.. with 1gigabit residential connections, BCP 38 OUGHT to be Google's answer. If Google handles that properly, they _should_ make it mandatory that all traffic from residential customers be filtered, in all cases, in order to only forward packets with their legitimately assigned or registry-issued publicly verifiable IP prefix(es) in the IP source field. Must be mandatory even for 'resellers', otherwise there's no point. And Google should provide _reasonable_ response to investigate manual abuse reports to well-publicized points of contact which go directly to a well-staffed dedicated abuse team, with authority and a clear and expeditious resolution process, as a bare minimum, and in addition to any and all automatic measures. P.S. reasonable abuse response is not defined as a 4-day delayed answer to a 'help, no contact addresses will answer me' post on nanog (long after automated processes finally kicked in).. Reasonable response to a continuous 1gigabit flood or 100 kilopacket flood should be less than 12 hours. If they think things through carefully (rather than copy+paste Google groups e-mail abuse management),it'll probably be alright -- -J
Re: Google to offer fiber to end users
I have gig copper ran all over my house. Handy for large file transfers. I have fios as well, and wish it was faster. (yes, all I know is it's a setting, it costs them nothing more) -- Joel Esler 302-223-5974 Sent from my iPhone On Feb 10, 2010, at 8:02 PM, Luan Nguyen l...@netcraftsmen.net wrote: They don't have a field in the MLS for that, but most people put the description FTTH in. There are quite a few communities with FTTH in the Wash DC metropolitan area that is not FIOS. Openband is one of them serving my house. The 100M fiber comes into a transition network converter and then to a Netgear. I doubt that any house would have FTTR (rooms). - Luan Nguyen Chesapeake NetCraftsmen, LLC. -
Re: Google to offer fiber to end users
What do folks think? I think it's a better use of their capital resources than paying big fat bonuses to big fat executives. Sounds like a well funded initiative that may provide an interesting platform to explore new technologies and develop a new array of applications. It would be nice to hear from local folks about how the WiFi experiment in Mountain View worked out. My .02 Jorge

Re: Google to offer fiber to end users
This is actually good new's, considering this line of thought began to look promising in 2000, other unmentioned providers have business models not inclusive of this for another 10 years. I think this at least shows American private industry that we are at least attempting to catch up with Europe and China who already have very high speed networks in the most brutal of environments, I think all local governents should apply. -henry From: Jorge Amodio jmamo...@gmail.com To: Charles N Wyble char...@knownelement.com Cc: Nanog nanog@nanog.org Sent: Wed, February 10, 2010 6:39:14 PM Subject: Re: Google to offer fiber to end users What do folks think?
