For the past few years, we’ve been hearing rumblings about Google leasing hundreds of thousands of square feet of carrier hotel space, buying up dark fiber, mulling the purchase of hundreds of millions of dollars in DWDM and Ethernet-based telecom equipment and helping to build out a trans-Pacific multi-terabit undersea cable. Now we know why. Google is developing its own 1Gbps fiber-to-the-home Internet service.
