Google steps up to the fiber plate

Pretty impressive. Is Sonic.net working with Google at all on this rollout or is this an independent thing they're doing?
FWIW, I like their system of pre-registering neighborhoods. I would gladly pay $10 to increase my neighborhood's chances of getting fiber sooner (although as I understand it, I'm already doing this just by having Fusion)

Google just added a nice marketing video about their final stage of installation in the homes of Kansas City.

Some of the imagery reminds of the press Sonic has gotten about their Fiber rollout. Would be interesting to hear how Sonic's implementation differs from Googles.

The sad part of ALL THIS is:
We live in CA(near Bay Area) where most Computer/Software Companies/..... and fiber is not available in/at many sections/locations even in a cities that have 400,000+(legal people)++++400,000++++(illegal people)
My point of all this Nice video TEASER which is NOT COMING NEAR ME ANYTIME SOON(People tend to spend more money on War Toys then on public infrastructural, and the worst part of all --- war toys are bought with peoples support)
And when it come to fiber(meaning saying yes moreover doing something about it) people tend to be careless about it
