Google set to showcase fast internet

In Google’s vision of the future of the Internet, the live streaming of 3-D medical images from a rural health clinic to a specialized medical center or the downloading of a full-length movie in a matter of minutes would become commonplace.  But Google’s promise to build the demonstration network is also the latest example of the Internet search company using its money and industry clout to help shape the future of the Internet to its liking.  Think surfing the web at a gigabit a second, or about 100 times the speed of many broadband connections.  Stephen Conroy are you listening?
