Google dipped out of rolling their own fiber because all the other ISPs started doing it, so there was no need anymore.
- mdorazio 7y agoPretty sure Google dipped out of rolling their own fiber because dealing with city councils, pole sharing nonsense, lobbying from incumbent ISPs, and customer service overhead was a huge pain in the ass that doesn't fit with their current operating model.
- carlosdp 7y agoSure, that too
- paulkon 7y agoOr they wanted to spur the major ISPs to roll out fiber quicker.
