Nowhere in this story is the number &quot;billions&quot; used.<p>Second, google&#x27;s strategy is not to invest billions, but seek subsidies or exceptions to municipal access fees by specifically targeting communities that decide to change rules that have existed for decades.<p>Finally, never forget that the new competitor&#x27;s main monetization tactic is harvesting your usage data &amp; selling your data.<p>I am all for increased competition, but fuck Google.  They are the devil.
