If Google were serious they would be going after the FiOS portion Verizon is off loading onto Frontier. Especially the portion here in the high tech laden Silicon Forest of the Pacific Northwest.
Personally, my philosophy is that any infrastructure making use of public and/or community granted private property easements should be required to wholesale access to all competing parties at same price.
In any event, it IS interesting that Google is not proposing to build out its fiber anywhere where there's FiOS. If they really believe their approach to be superior, why aren't they? And how can they accuse ISPs of "cherry picking" when they will do the same (only on the basis of PR, because this is a publicity stunt)?
