Fiber will be a dumb pipe company until it serves Alphabet's interests that it not be. Right now market adoption and growth is more important than trying to capitalize on their users in creative ways. Look at Chrome for example, adoption was the name of the game for years and then suddenly your browser now has an, arguably opt-in, superpower where it can send analytics back itself on sites you visit. It's not crazy to think that could happen to fiber sometime down the line. I feel the municipal internet infrastructure should be publicly owned, like streets, but service on those pipes is carried by competing companies. These turf wars are getting old.
