i always wondered if fiber is going anywhere, like most google venture it fails poorly, because they couldnt expand, i suspect waymo will go the same way.

we currently have sonic for like 10 years and it was great. and there are other GSP ISP? that is equal or greater than fiber. ISP being a potential new revenue source, is something google dint capatalize on, likely because of AI taking all thier resources on developing it?
