Just as expected. It was just to force the network carriers to speed up wasn't it?

- ethanbond 10y agoForce them to speed up (maybe) in a dozen cities? I don't think that's "just as expected."
- andrewvijay 10y agoIf they have sped up in a couple of cities then the next cities will get soon too. You have to evaluate a new business move before scaling up. And data is one of their primary modes of income. Measurement is very valuable.

- Thaxll 10y agoIt's pretty much a fail.
- rhino369 10y agoDidn't really work because the cost to deploy nationwide 1 gig is super expensive. It's only going to happen if there is profit in it. If Google wanted to create a market they shouldn't have priced it so low. Even if you could do nationwide gigabit for 70 bucks, there wouldnt be any profit. Isps aren't going to do a massive capital expenditure to make the same money.
