One thing missing from this post: why? After "Advancing our Amazing Bet", it became clear that the level of regulatory obstacles Google needed to overcome made it too cost-prohibitive to continue their rollouts. But what factors are forcing them to pull out of an already established market? Is the ISP environment so hostile as to squeeze even the biggest players out of town? Is Google slowly ramping down even existing Fiber operations? What's going on behind the scenes here? If the microtrenching issue is driving this, why can't Google of all companies put up the investment to re-do it right? There's failing an experiment, and then there's realizing something is sub-par and putting in the work and money to make it right for your customers. I feel like Google has misconstrued the two here.
