This is a far cry from the 50,000 to 500,000 homes Google wants for the community, but it will at least be a leaping off point to see how well it does. The plan is to break ground on the service in early 2011. Google chose Stanford because the university was willing to test out the new fiber service and the Residential Subdivision is laid out in such a way as to make it easy for Google's engineers to wire it up. Plus Google is headquartered just a few miles away so the engineers will have a short travel time to fix any potential problems.
