As I've said before, Google Fiber didn't encounter one peep of opposition until it came to Louisville. Even without opposition, it rolls out at the rate of continental drift, and has cancelled orders for people in Kansas City who were waiting up to 18 months for it.

Quote:AT&T has lost a court case in which it tried to stall construction by Google Fiber in Louisville, Kentucky.
AT&T sued the local government in Louisville and Jefferson County in February 2016 to stop a One Touch Make Ready Ordinance designed to give Google Fiber and other new ISPs quicker access to utility poles. But yesterday, US District Court Judge David Hale dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, saying AT&T's claims that the ordinance is invalid are false.
Google Fibre has been slow to deploy not because Google is uninterested in deploying it, but because existing cable and telecommunication companies have put up roadblock after roadblock to prevent Google from deploying or to raise the cost of deployment. But you will never see SC Admit that in one of his bashing threads.
