Most of every single fight was at the municipality or city level and not any larger than that. So while those companies may have had holds over that community in particular, those companies are not national companies like Google is. Sure if Google was able to change all those laws that could be a win but we all know they wouldn’t stop there, and it would be less than a year before a very similar law would probably go up across the board. And you know it would pass cuz all they would have to say is “hey government want to take a looksies? Just make sure to pass this bill we wrote for ya”

Honestly, im not terribly upset they are getting blocked. The last thing we need is google truly breaking into the utility market nationally

If there’s not already lines to an area, you’d have to really try pretty hard to even find enough older/slower cabeling to justify the install costs alone. The only reason we don’t already have fiber everywhere is because they don’t wanna pay to dig… Despite being heavily subsided with the understanding that they should already be doing that.
