1Gb to the home is nice but im not sure who has the network to support something like this.
100Gb Ethernet is around the corner but most ISP networks don’t even run that yet.

> Ads that appear next to Gmail messages are similar to the ads that appear next to Google search results and on content pages throughout the web. Our goal is to provide Gmail users with ads that are useful and relevant to their interests.
> Ad targeting in Gmail is fully automated, and no humans read your email in order to target advertisements or related information. This type of automated scanning is how many email services, not just Gmail, provide features like spam filtering and spell checking. Ads are selected for relevance and served by Google computers using the same contextual advertising technology that powers Google’s [AdSense program](https://www.google.com/adsense).
Email scanning is nothing new, it’s done by every mailbox provider and most likely internally at your job. Scans for keywords, email addresses, strings of text, etc. are used to filter out spam and so on.

Rumor has it that our mayor (Elmira) is submitting a proposal to get the google service in our area. They are using Corning Inc. as basically a reason since they manufacture the fiber optic line. Who knows it could happen…

I’m still interested to know what equipment they would be using and how the plan on actually making money on this.
Construction costs are huge
Hardware costs to aggregate and manage Gig fiber are huge

Would be a fantastic reason for them to qualify. I hope they get it. Meanwhile I would just settle for fios ☹
I wonder if google plans on using it for tv eventually.

Google has a lot of capital saved up to fund the initial rollout and will be around 10 years from now to reap the profits. Plus I bet you will see a lot of their project fiber subsidized for local uses to companies and governments that didn’t have the ability or funding to roll out their own fiber.

From what I have seen on it, they are running their own and want to be compared to Verizon. From what I have read and heard from some guys who do a lot of dark fiber work, Verizon is very hard to get to lease their fiber in most places.

Verizon has to open up copper to outside companies but not fiber yet.

Most people petition congress about net neutrality… Google just builds its own fiber network.

Whatever they sell I will buy. Most of what they do is great anyway. If they can be a cable and internet service provider they will definitely change the game a bit.

They just strike me as branching out into so many areas, they can’t possibly be good at all of them. I know it comes from the free time they give employees for their pet projects, but there’s something to be said for recognizing core competencies.

Have they had one of their side branches fail yet? It seems like anything Google puts its name on turns to gold.
Also, FCC made an intresting news release today too in this topic: [http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE61F3GY20100216](http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE61F3GY20100216) Giving 100 mb links to the home is easy… building the network to support it is the complex part.
