"with goals beyond pure financial gains and rock-bottom self-interest."
This doesn't paint an accurate picture. Google isn't deploying Fiber out of any notion of selflessness. This is a competitive play, and a very good one at that.
You say selfless ideals, I say this is exactly how "the market" and "competition" are commonly understood to function -- in the absence of corruption, regulatory capture and state granted monopolies.

- oldmanjay 12y agoAnd you're ascribing purity of motivation based on nothing more than apparent religious belief in your savior Larry. Hardly a more convincing argument.
- r_edwards 12y agobut I would argue a bigger hedge against net neutrality -> not banking on defeating what increasingly looks like regulatory capture.
