Google is going to attempt to sell the world that their exotic super special wireless is an evolution in broadband. But the world will detect the odor of BS in the air and call BS on Google.
It appears they found that fiber is more expensive to do and less lucrative (the way they do it) than they thought. Moreover the loss of goodwill from cherry picking customers is giving them a black eye. OK fine, wireless will be much more egalitarian, quick and easy to deploy, right... Let’s sound retreat and go back to ball and musket. Those damned repeating rifles are too costly.
