Somebody's gotta have the inside scoop on Google Fiber launching tomorrow..??
https://fiber.google.com/savethedate/
Live broadcast over YouTube tomorrow. Anybody have any early news on this? Will it be available all over the Metro? How long will the waiting list be? Anybody know anything? I'm impatient. |

absolutely
'buying' votes is NOT a form of free speech, it's a legal form of bribery

I have almost 60 devices on my network, and any 10 of them might be using media services on the Internet at any given time. All over a 30Mbit connection. All of the things you listed aren't unique to Google fiber nor do you need 1Gig/300M connections to do what you are doing. Of course, normal cable/DSL can't do these things but it doesn't change the fact that 1Gig is way overkill. |

of course they do. but why attempt legislation now? why not put in a law that says states cant offer tax incentives to bring a business across state lines? of course this would be to ensure the sanctity of free commerce and competition...right?
the hearing on this is slated for Tuesday at 8:30 am. hopefully that will be the end of it.

Even if that is true, why would that make this bill a good thing for the public? You know the government is supposed to work for the good of its citizens right? |
