Google Fiber no longer a moonshot -- it's a 'real business'
http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2016/07/19/google-fiber-wants-to-be-your-broadband-company/86725276/
"Every time I say that I have Google Fiber, people freak out,"
says Mosqueda. "And I say, 'You should freak out. It's
amazing.'" Mosqueda is not a spokesman for Google Fiber but
he might as well be. Testimonials like his are fueling demand
for the super-speedy Internet service across the country. And
that's good news for Fiber, which has a green light from
executives at parent Alphabet (GOOGL) to spend big in its
mission to become a national broadband company that competes
with the industry's deeply entrenched heavyweights. "Now that
we have proven the business model to ourselves, we are
expanding," says Dennis Kish, vice president of Fiber.

I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently
doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone.
