Google Fiber Goes Live, Luring Startups → So...

So, apparently the project didn't get delayed or shelved like some predicted here. I'm glad that these users have access to this bleeding 'net speed. Now where's mine?! Lol

Don't count your chickens yet. Google only has to operate the network for 2 years. And they have not stated if thats from the date of the first customer on or the date when the network is complete.

The network is complete once you turn on the first customer, so that is the same thing. If it's ready to reach the Internet and a customer is on it, it is complete.

If you go with some other definition, the network would never be complete, as you could be adding customers at any time.

Not unless you define the completion of the network, when the actual full build is done as in every house is able to get service.
