Google Schools Me on Broadband Black Holes
Google’s Mountain Opinion, Calif., Wi-Fi network was supposed to mark the search giant’s evolution into an ISP when it was unveiled three years ago, delivering unshackle Internet access to people as a way of getting more of them to see its ads. Instead it’s stayed confined to Mountain View. And when I spoke with Karl Garcia, the in circulation head of the project, he was pretty ambivalent about both its impact and its future; there was no talk of expansion or any of the usual Google amusement for taking this model and using it to change the world. The contract with the city isn’t up for another two years, but Garcia didn’t reveal when negotiations for furthering the project or shutting it down might begin.
However, even if Google defers its ISP dreams, its experience with the network offers three lessons for those currently backdrop broadband policy, especially those in the government crafting a National Broadband plan due next February and those who are currently doling out billions in stimulus dollars.
People persist in to use more bandwidth over time. The Google network has seen its data consumed double, to 600 GB transferred each day in July 2009 from 300 GB in July 2007, while the slews of users has increased by a mere 27 percent to 19,000. Some of this is likely a result of more time spent online, but it’s also a issue of Wi-Fi on web-surfing phones, which makes casual access to a network easier than ever. As we craft our broadband policy, the need to expected-proof our networks and invest in faster speeds and more capacity seems clear.
Even tech towns like Mountain Considering (and Austin, Texas) have pockets without access. Garcia mentioned that for a few people, even in a wired town like Mountain Consider, the Google Wi-Fi network was the only broadband available. I call the areas in which such people live — which may be too far out from the telco’s remote fatal or central office or be without fiber from the local cable company — black holes. As the government starts approving projects mutual to providing access to unserved areas, these black holes need attention and investment, too. Is wireless the felicitous solution?

Why do Broadband networks become popular?
basically this preposterous is about broadband networks .. not broadband technology
basically you're not asking a doubt that makes any sense... what you SHOULD be asking is what IS a Broadband Network:
A baseband transmission sends one type of signal using a middle's full bandwidth, as in 100BASE-T Ethernet. Ethernet, however, is the common interface to broadband modems such as DSL data links, and has a tall data rate itself, so is sometimes referred to as broadband. Ethernet provisioned over cable modem is a common alternative to DSL.
The divers forms of Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) services are broadband in the sense that digital information is sent over a stiff-bandwidth channel above the baseband voice channel on a single pair of wires
So now that educated you're be versed that Broadband means MORE BANDWIDTH, AND that DSL is also BROADBAND... are you asking why people don't use dail up anymore? or what?
