It's going to be interesting how this plays out. Time Warner and Comcast are merging (as you probably know). They will OWN the last mile. Google Fiber is only in Kansas City and soon to expand into several other cities. They are not much of a competitor on the consumer ISP level. Yet the vast majority of the population will have to go through them to get to the internet OR Google. That is when they can tell Google, "pay us xxxxx$" or we will degrade your service.
