Are you saying google should be able to avoid paying taxes by building their facilities on government land, then use that money to provide "free" stuff to people? Which is of course what they are attempting to do.
Isn't that what taxes do? What's the difference?
What do have against google wiring up San Francisco? It's a great demonstration project that other cities and towns can learn from. That Comcast, the regional Bells, all cable companies must learn from. Hi speed access has been a rip off for far too long and google is about to kick their monopolistic pricing schemes to the curb.
GOOGLE + SAN FRAN = competition for the above monopolists. Screw 'em!
If San Francisco works out Google will make money wiring other cities. Google is not a charity. What's to prevent the cable companies and regional telecoms from doing the same?
