Google is discontinuing Google Fiber

Uh, I haven't seen anything about that. I know they are halting installation for a few hundred people in the suburban Kansas City area, but I haven't seen anything about them straight up ending it.


Basically, they announced that trying to brute force their way through isn't working. At the rate of technological advancement, fiber will be obsolete by the time they're done fighting legal battles to be allowed to put the fiber in, in the first place, so that they're looking into alternative ways of providing even better internet.

Google-Fi was the first step, but I think they're researching faster wireless technology, potentially public Li-Fi (wireless over visible light)

Fair enough

But the question remains - let's pretend they get a mass-wifi service. The question still stands.
