I always felt like Fiber was a warning shot to all of the ISPs trying to constrain what/how/where customers could do while extracting as much money as possible.

I always felt like Fiber was a warning shot to all of the ISPs trying to constrain what/how/where customers could do while extracting as much money as possible. In other words, if they keep this behavior up, Google will begin to compete as well as advocate (fight for the regulation, laws, etc) for other, smaller, new ISPs to enter the market. Or fight harder on the net-neutrality front. Or potentially worst of all for the incumbent/monopolistic ISPs, fight to make them dumb-pipes. Then again, maybe it's just another google product/service destined from conception for the graveyard...
