The Bay Area other than South Bay is difficult. My city, San Leandro, has public/private "partnership" fiber in the ground [0] for businesses. When I contacted them about residential, they let me know that they'd had a look and the demand just wasn't there. I took it further to see if I could get my building on it through one of the commercial partners (PAXIO) but the costs of building it out were pretty high (~$15k was what I was told) and I couldn't convince my building management that paying for it would work out for them. I really hope Google or someone does do this for the rest of the bay area but I think it's more likely that Comcast will bring out DOCSIS 3.1 and everyone'll be happy enough that nothing will happen.
