Google trying to bring fiber internet networks for developing world

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.
