Whither Google Fiber?
Well, this is sure interesting.
Tons of computing capacity. An independent fiber backbone. Software for both voice and text communication. Search tools for web sites, comparative pricing, blogs. Satellite photo coverage of the entire planet. Software for playing video. Wireless access.
Not only are they looking to be the network, they're looking to be intertwined with all the data on that network--which means they have an even larger dataset on which to search.
At this point, they could be Microsoft and Ma Bell rolled into one. A desktop in the sky, accessible from anywhere, networked to everything, allowing every form of communication.
Or, maybe they just want to sell a bunch of mortgage ads.
