I suspect even if gFiber had super high margins it would've still had its operations scaled down.
It's a huge pain in the ass to deploy fiber. The cities that got Google Fiber mostly had to bend over backwards in order to do so. There's a lot of logistical (and legal) factors that just don't exist for pretty much any other Google product.
Like what approvals does Google need to release Bard? But you could make pages of approvals needed to deploy fiber to a city.

- lesuorac 3y agoSurely if Google Fiber started EU operations they would also need DPA approval? The point is that fiber would require a lot more approvals than many of the pure software projects. Also afaik, fiber never launched in EU and exists in many less locations than Bard.
