Google trying to bring fiber internet networks for developing world

Washington, Nov. 21 (ANI): Google is launching a new project to bring high-speed Internet to the developing world using more traditional means: fiber networks.

The initiative, called Project Link, aims to connect cities in developing countries with high-speed fiber networks, Google announced.

According to Mashable, Google revealed that it has already wired up Kampala, the capital of Uganda, using Project Link:

This network, about 100 kilometers of fiber, is growing out from the center of the city, Google spokesperson Kelly Mason said.

Google hopes to give citizens in Kampala a better chance of accessing online learning tools or building new startups, and to improve commerce and the economy overall, the report added. (ANI)
