 Hi, this is Dieter Bohn for The Verge and we are here in Kansas City for the Google Fiber launch at the beautiful Google Fiber Experience. And the service is going to come in several different tiers, most of which are going to be a full gigabit broadband, which is 1000 megabits up and down. Google is going to decide where they build out the fiber based on a thing they're calling a rally, so different neighborhoods need to pick. But if you choose to pay the $300 and your neighborhood gets to be wired up, then you have a couple of options. The first option is $120 for Google Fiber plus TV. And the only problem with that is it looks like there are some limitations on the TV channels. We're not seeing CNN, HBO, or even ESPN in their current lineup. If you pay $70 a month, you can get just the gigabit broadband, which is still pretty good. And then if your neighborhood is getting fiber but you don't want to pay $70 a month, you can actually get standard regular broadband, 5 megabits down for free for 7 years if you pay for the construction costs for them to wire your house up. The hardware that powers all this is pretty interesting. There is of course a router that will have some ethernet ports and provide Wi-Fi. On top of that, there is a storage box with 2 terabytes of storage that is used to store all your DVR material for all of your TVs. And then every single TV needs to have a relatively small box in order to be wired up and access to the TV. In addition, that TV box is also a Wi-Fi router, so it can extend your Wi-Fi network. The remote for Google TV is a Nexus 7. If you sign up for the TV package, you will get a free Nexus 7 tablet. There will also be a small Bluetooth remote if you prefer to use it that way. The rollout should happen sometime soon. They are having people register right now by September 9th in order to sign up. After that, we will see gigabit broadband in Kansas City. As for when it will hit the rest of the country, Google is not saying yet.
