The thing I wish to see them focus on the most is making Google Fiber everywhere. I wish they would take their ISP division more seriously.



Considering Kansas launched in September 2012 [1] that gives them a year and a half of service. They've already announced Austin and Utah (Utah starting service soon ~Feb 20 [2]). They are having to build new infrastructure to the "fiber hoods" which takes a lot of capital and time. Let alone massive political fights from the current ISPs that are sure to take months of time. I'm not sure how they could be more serious about it?
