Re: Utopia II? said by aztecnology:Hardly, I think their going to deploy over existing networks (like FiOS), in which they only need to upgrade the hardware to provide the 1gbps... huh? My understanding is they have to deploy a fiber network.. not use someone else's.
And, my point is not the network in general. Think Utopia.. it was a fiber delivery system that any provider was welcome to contract into and sell their services over it.. in the end, it wound up failing.. and none of the big boys even participated. So my question is what makes Google think they're going to be any different in this model? They need to simply build their network, operate it themselves, and prove their point. |

| I think in the end Google may end up altering their plans. They start off building this test-bed out. Suddenly, they are making some cash off of what they build... and getting an enormous amount of data! Google ISP is born and it wouldn't matter too much weather they are the ISP or a wholesaler. They still get the profit, they still own the pipes, and they still get the data. Suddenly, becoming an ISP doesn't look like such a far-off thing to them.

google will put some sort of data inspection box in the network and that's how they'll collect data from all users regardless on who they use for the 'net.

There's no way they want to be a dumb pipe provider and deal with maintaining a network. Why would they be courting the incumbant last mile providers to join in with them...

So they would become another paxio where only a handful of people can get it. *yawn*
