I agree. Back to my original point, there are already some players in this market and look for residential campaigns soon.
IMO, some people hear Google Fiber and think a city becomes transformed and revolutionary.. Honestly, it's nothing more than Google finally getting in the game and wanting their own ultra high speed network. Their only option to do this is to rip up the land and lay their pipe.. Or piggy backing on companies that have been already been laying Optic Fiber for 20 years..
It just so happens that the current distribution technology has finally caught up to the same optic fiber that has been in the ground for years and they can now advertise gig speeds. Great timing for Google and hats off to them for taking their needs by the horns..
