I agree. If you build it, they will come. And who knows what or who &#x27;they&#x27; are. But while Google is spending millions putting fiber to every door in a few select cities, huge portions of the country still only have dial-up and satellite as options.<p>That doesn&#x27;t mean Google shouldn&#x27;t be spending millions to do it. That would be the same argument as &#x27;why are we spending billions to go to space when people are starving&#x27; -- I read an article once that I can&#x27;t find now, it was titled something like &#x27;why we should do awesome things&#x27;. Of course, we should feed the starving AND go to space AND do other awesome things.<p>My main issue was, the article and company seemed to imply that the local WISP was impeding their ability to get funding to run fiber, when, for the last 10 years, that WISP was probably that community&#x27;s only source of broadband. It did not say if they actively fought them, or it was simply their presence that was the issue.
