" ... Google Fiber execs are simply considering whether or not it makes financial sense to begin using some fifth generation (5G) technologies to *supplement* existing fiber deployment."
Supplement? There is no existing Google Fiber deployment in Portland.
"This week however things took an *interesting* turn ..."
Interesting? More like a deflating, deeply disappointing turn .../div>
This is of no consolation to Portlanders -- who have been strung along for more than 2 years, while the city and the state jumped through hoops for Google.
Portland was all but a done deal, save for the final announcement. And now it's just "never mind," with no explanation other than some vague boilerplate.
And we weren't pitched Google 5G, etc., we got excited about an FTTP-delivered symmetrical gigabit connection for a highly reasonable price.
The "Google Fiber" brand is about FTTP. Maybe they want to change the name./div>

So I don't see why there should be any technical DRM reason for locking out Linux./div>
