The real goal of Google Fiber was to scare incumbent providers into upgrading their networks. Faster broadband means more YouTube, more cloud services, more streaming, and more time online. All of which feeds directly into Google’s ad and services ecosystem.

Pretty on brand for google to abandon it. Probably the only product I wanted them to succeed with. Guess I’m stuck with shitty ass spectrum in the future.
