It looks like Google's strategy to promote faster internet worked. Google gave the impression that it wanted to compete with Comcast when it first announced Google Fiber in Kansas City. But Google really wanted to create demand for hyper-fast internet because the company's ability to monetize its users increases proportionally with internet access speeds.
- cynoclast 12y agoI think google can compete with comcast. The US is so conditioned to ridiculously priced broadband that we don't realize how cheap it can be. There's a service in Tokyo that's 2GB for ~50 USD. Google is showing that you don't have to price gouge to be profitable, and it's terrifying the entrenched oligopoly.
