Gigabit City – Future of Philadelphia

Philadelphia becomes a test-bed for ultra high speed applications and urban on-shoring

Facilitate economic and community development in a number of technology ecosystems throughout the City

Page 11: Digital Philly

The Google fiber initiative – Part of our overall Gigabit city strategy

Google wants to build and test ultra high-speed broadband networks in several locations

Test beds offering 1 Gigabit connectivity to institutions, individuals, and businesses together in a Technology Ecosystem

Goal is to drive innovation in both deployment and use of ultra high-speed broadband services

Allow Google to select one or more zones from our overall Gigabit City model

Zones would include critical mass of institutions including universities, technology firms, media firms, and science/medical companies

Google fiber would integrate with existing wireless assets for seamless connectivity

Create InfoTech incubators in these infrastructure-rich areas

11

Page 12: Digital Philly

Why would Google select Philadelphia for its test bed location?

Philadelphia is historically a city of firsts, including the first university in America, first bank, first library, first hospital, first skyscraper, and first computer

Ideal location in a large population zone between New York and Washington, D.C. developing a reputation as a creative center

Ideal test bed zones available in University City and Old City/Northern Liberties areas with universities, science companies, media industry, and technology firms

Good opportunity to use existing capital assets such as SEPTA infrastructure to speed deployment and reduce cost of test bed

Would continue existing development of Philadelphia region’s development of IT economy
