Google's ability to print money in conjunction with its generally high PR ratings give it the cache to take on a project like fiber. I can't imagine it's cheap or easy to lay fiber if you don't have substantial financial backing as well as a political goal you're trying to achieve.
That said, I've used both Sonic.net and MonkeyBrains here in San Francisco. Never had to rely on a major ISP in this town, and I like it that way.
