Re: Buying out the last mile? said by openbox9:This experiment is about Google making a point and attempting to demonstrate that incumbents are dragging their feet with infrastructure upgrades.
No, that's not what they said. Do you really think the public needs or wants Google to point out what incumbents might be guilty of?
They said they would, and I quote, "deliver":
From the Google Community Fiber announcement:
We'll deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today with 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections.
They aren't.
Google often just buys the better mousetrap and retires their own. Surewest already does 50Mbps FTTH, albeit in a limited footprint. Why not just invest, upgrade, and get the job done, rather than spend the next year pointing fingers? |
