"Google is doing this to get people to complain to their ISP that they are not getting as good a deal as people on Google Fiber." That plan only has a chance of working if they increase coverage by a lot to put real pressure on ISPs across many local regions. What does the local duopoly of ISPs where 99.99% of us live care if we know that Google Fiber is much better and cheaper when our only option of getting it is to move to KC, Austin or Provo? They won't give a shit until Google is actually competing in their backyard. FWIW, Google's half-baked plans for the spectrum failed as well, Verizon never did shit to open the upper band of 700MHz up for open access after buying it and after their recent court victory, it is virtually certain they never will.
