I could probably do a post every day about some revolutionary development by Google. They’re always doing something interesting. But just recently I read about a couple of things I thought were blog-worthy.

The first item is the truly astounding bit of information that quite possibly YouTube (owned by Google), is responsible for 10% of all internet traffic. That is an amazing and truly mind-blowing number. And there’s something in there about how Google doesn’t pay for any of the bandwidth. Simply amazing.

Second, and even more mind-blowing, is that Google plans to roll out super-fast internet in select areas.

Search and advertising giant Google plans to build and test super fast fiber-optic broadband networks in a few communities around the U.S., promising up to a one gigabit per second service — a hundred-fold increase over what most Americans currently can subscribe to.

The article gives a good discussion of the reasoning behind this action, but it really boils down to Google delivering a kick to the nuts of the ISPs. They’re over-priced, too slow, and they want to institute new systems of charging people by the amount of bandwidth they use. Google says this is bad for business, and of course, it’s bad for us users. So screw those ISPs! I just hope this does force them to change.

Lastly, Google has a handy tool to find out whether your ISP is throttling your BitTorrent downloads. Check it out here.
