Wow, Google may be about to become a 21st century Ma Bell. Instead of the government stepping in and saying we’ll provide the infrastructure for a next generation of high speed (100 times today’s speed) for consumers and businesses, looks like Google might. Google says that it won’t be a service provider, will allow others to resell. On the positive side, we’ve all been hijacked into paying huge fees to Comcast and other service providers, so perhaps we’ll have more choice and lower costs? On the other hand… maybe Google is just organizing the next expensive oligopoly?
