This gives a good summary about
why Google is doing this.  It thinks
it needs higher speeds to support
future projects.  And it clearly sees
that the existing big providers are
digging in, not providing higher speeds,
and not above not letting others do
it either.

It will be interesting to see how this
plays out.  Chattanooga, TN, already
has a 1Gbps system.
