Eh, that's their software side. Google doesn't do that with hardware infrastructure like data centers.

Didn't they try to make their own ISP and then left it behind?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They didn't kill it where it was already running though.

They Just stopped expanding then?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

No, they are still expanding. It's just happening really slowly. They are actively laying fiber and expanding in several cities in AZ right now.

A quick search will bring up cities they are planning on moving into.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

That's my understanding

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yes, it was more expensive than anticipated to lay new fiber and then they had to fight entrenched monopolies in control of regulators at every turn.
