I agree that there are a lot of excellent questions there. The author references the Google-Kansas City agreement [1] throughout the article, and has articulated some very real, pressing concerns about the terms of that contract. It's my understanding, however, that ALL of the infrastructure providers for a city will have similar contracts with the city, but I've been unable to find any online records for Google's competitors ATT & Time Warner. I imagine that while each of the contracts will feature significant differences, the average person would balk at the privileges the city government affords to each of these companies. Without those documents to put the Google-KC contract into context, I'd hesitate to draw any conclusions from Google's (possible) response.
