Yes. But that's a feature, not a bug.
1) Google didn't want to be a service provider. ("Customer service? What's that??") It only needed to feign the threat to get the other real ISPs to pick up the speed. They were only committed enough to acheive that broader goal.
2) "Failure" is good for Google. It's a cover for where they are dominant. Shuttering Fiber isn't a failure. It's a win.
- scarface_74 3y agoAddressing #2 It’s a bug in Google’s promo driven culture. You don’t get promoted at Google by being good at your job, you have to show “impact”. That’s much easier to do by being on a new initiative. You don’t do that by improving and maintaining existing projects. Amazon has the same “impact” driven promo culture. I haven’t worked at Google. But I did work at Amazon. From what I read about Google, it’s the same Hunger Games mentality.
