In my region, Google is planting thousands of miles of FO cable.  I know this because another Surveyor I know is working on the project.

Yea, google is the shit. I read that comcast is starting to expand a 2 gig service in Chattanooga to compete with the city's 1 gig service. It'll be over twice the cost, though.

or if local governments upgraded the infrastructure themselves like Chattanooga, we could see companies expand their services. Chattanooga offers 1 gig service for $70 bucks a month. It's not a surprise that Comcast is now trying to put in the system to offer 2 gig service there. You also realize a lot of the issue is that these big telecommunication companies put a ton of money into politics to prevent competition, right?
