James Kelly, project manager on Google's infrastructure team, said: ‘We are doing this because we want to experiment with new ways to make the web better and faster for everyone, allowing new applications that aren't possible today. We are going to try out new ways to build and operate fibre networks and share what we learn with the world.’<BR><BR><A href="http://telecomafrica.blogspot.com/2010/02/google-to-build-fibre-optic-network.html" target=_blank rel=nofollow>http://telecomafrica.blogspot.com/2010/02/google-to-build-fibre-optic-network.html</A><BR clear=all><BR>-- <BR>________________________________________________<BR><BR><BR>Rui
