I have this adversarial opinion that I think is very unusual. Would love to hear your perspective. Google pissed in the punch bowl by offering google fiber.

Google pissed in the punch bowl by offering google fiber.
This forced the carriers to perceive google as an existential threat they are absolutely dependent upon for cheap ass android and ISP revenue from YouTube.
The only move they could make was to make google bleed. So they start offering content monetization and competing advertising platforms. Their goal isn’t to win, it’s to HURT GOOGLE. Advertising prices go down when there is meaningful competition. So shitty content monetizatuon from Comcast and VZ & ATT forces the price of google advertising down.
There is a big part of me that is pulling for the carriers on this front. I’m bummed more people don’t see it this way.
- kelnos 7y agoIf the carriers were good actors that in general act in good faith most of the time, maybe (assuming your hunch is correct) I'd feel bad for them. But they don't, so I don't.
