Ahh, that's why Google is having a hard time, because they know the cable companies will compete at will. Therefore, making it hard and risky for Google to spend billions on infrastructure. But if Google can truly overcome the limitations of cable, perhaps Google will really accelerate the roll-out someday soon?
Perhaps demand isn't that great nowadays. I feel like my 50/50 FIOS connection is more than enough, for the entire family (wife and 5 kids, with 802.11n wifi for all the tablets and laptops, rather than 802.11ac which would only allow one device to consume the bandwidth of the household).
Soon, 4K content from Netflix, etc.. will really boost the demand (while many more of us use 4K displays) but it's still gradual...
Interesting stuff.
