Re: Google will try to be an ISP I'm curious as to what will happen to real estate prices in the town/burg that gets the Google pipes.
For instance...Battle Creek, MI saw a spike in housing prices when the Promise Scholarship (I think that's the name) was announced, guaranteeing students who graduate from BCISD a four-year college degree. A demand was instantly created in housing and compared to the rest of the state, BC is doing well. (Nevermind that most states are doing better than MI...)
IF Google lays the fiber and the network proves itself, I wonder what it will do to the local economy. It's one of the reasons that almost makes me want to see Lansing or Kalamzoo get picked. |
