Re: Lol, Surewest bought by Google...ha ha ha ha ha
As soon as Google announced KC area, I was expecting that eventually Surewest would take over managing the day to day operations and support for Google, but I didn't anticipate Google buying Surewest. I suppose it's a realistic possibility to expedite the almost obvious outcome of Surewest being involved in some way.
I don't know that the really want to buy them. After all google does intend to walk away from this experiment at some point, contracting/providing surewest (or any other scalable experineced FTTH builder operator) with capital/grants to get it done. and leave an ongoing sustanable network when they leave. (to avoid the bad PR "Google gives up !")
