To force the incumbents to do better.
Same reason they originally created Chrome - they needed a browser that was faster and enabled more complex web apps, and they were sicks of the offerings at the time, so they built their own.
- SirMaster 3y agoBut if it's available in such limited areas and they are aren't expanding it, is it really accomplishing that?
- solarpunk 3y agoif you can force a telco to roll out stuff in one place, it's proof they can do it elsewhere.
- grecy 3y agoAbsolutely. Google even announced Google Fiber was coming to some cities.... then the incumbents stepped up and offered affordable Fiber connections... then years later Google retracted the promise it was coming, and now will not offer fiber in those cities. So basically they called their bluff, and that was enough.
- gs17 3y ago> and they are aren't expanding it They were adding a lot of fiber in Nashville last year. It feels like almost every street/alley got cut to lay it.
