Google in Hudson Square

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

The Hudson Square Connection responded to an RFI from Google for “Google Fiber for Communities,” a new, experimental program that could revolutionize broadband internet by providing an ultra high speed network capable of over 1 gigabyte/second data transfer.

Backed by the Economic Development Corporation and a letter of support from Mayor Bloomberg, the Connection submitted a preliminary application to Google that showcased Hudson Square as New York’s magnet for new media and a center of innovation and creativity, qualities that make it a perfect host to the next generation of high speed internet.

Google will announce the results of this national competition later this year, so be sure to check our site regularly for updates.  Read more about the Connections efforts in Crain’s Insider – April 2, 2010.
