Google Fiber coming to Austin
When I initially asked, I didn't get an answer: why wouldn't Google go ahead and roll it out Fiber here, in its own back yard? How many times are we going to see this story and then pay our monthly Comcast/AT&T/Verizon over-priced tithe for a mediocre service?The cynical old man in me thinks maybe there's some kind of bribery going on to keep the Bay Area off the table for as long as possible. How much would Comcast have to pay you, Google, to keep you from destroying its market here? A billion? Ten? Fifty?I've thought about relocating to Austin if I ever tire of the startup scene here, but now it looks like I'd have a very good reason to just go ahead and do that.
