- shmerl 10y ago> I think it's been widely speculated about before but it seems like they're exploring new technologies (e.g. Wireless) that are more cost-effective And also way lower quality and limited potential in comparison with fiber. I'm basically wondering is it simply usual move for more profits, or fiber itself isn't profitable?

- xbmcuser 10y agoI think it has more to do with the road blocks being put in place by current isp's. Fighting and working around those increase fiber installation costs and makes it harder for them to be profitable. They still will probably expand google fiber to places that already have community fiber installations.
