I wonder how much money Google can make from a single household that is using Google products on the internet? As long as Google makes more money over time than the internet connection costs them, then it could be a very profitable for Google to increase the number of people using Google products and gain great product PR and brand loyalty from these people who get free internet.

- danielweber 14y agoSo it looks like they know which shows you watch (the same way Netflix does). Other departments of google don't know which websites you go to, "except with your consent." There can be a lot of mischief hidden in those 4 words.
- gilrain 14y agoWhile this would normally be a concern, I don't think many people trust Comcast or Time Warner any more than Google.
- mhurron 14y agoComcast and TWC don't wrap all their services in a single, trackable userID.
- MitziMoto 14y agoYeah, If they show me one more ad relevant to my interests, I'm deleting my Google account all together!

"Google has found that an extra 500 ms in search page generation time made traffic drop by 20%." http://royal.pingdom.com/2008/09/23/latency-costs-sales-and-drives-visitors-away/ http://royal.pingdom.com/2008/09/23/latency-costs-sales-and-... I don't think Google plans to bring this level of high-speed internet to everyone in the US, but they're certainly trying to spur the competition on. If people use the internet more, Google makes more money.
