"Google has officially invited 34 cities in nine metro areas to become the next batch of the Google Fiber rollout.
Google said it 'genuinely would like to build in all of these cities,' but that the complexities of deploying networks may not allow it. 'During this process, we will work with each city to map out in detail what it would look like to build a new fiber-optic network there,' Google said. 'The most important part of this teamwork will be identifying what obstacles might pop up during network construction — and then working together to find the smoothest path around those obstacles. Some might be easy, some might take some creative thinking or a few months to iron out, and in some cases there might be such local complexities that we decide it's not the right time to build Google Fiber there.'"

I thought they back-pedalled on a lot of the "server" stuff when a number of people EFF included combed through the TOS and nit-picked. At that point, didn't they say something along the lines of "servers are okay, as long as they aren't basically a business" type thing?

Yes, they backpedaled within 48 hours of this photograph appearing on the internet-

And today I've started to wonder if the backpedaled stance isn't vulnerable to a section 1 Sherman Antitrust lawsuit given the ToS against commercial servers seem in my mind to satisfy these 3 criteria-
1. An agreement
2. which unreasonably restrains competition
3. and which affects interstate commerce

Hey dmc, there is the blockquote quasi-html tag! Quotation marks on a line by themselves look weird to me.

hmmm ok I'll

and now I even see the nice documentation below which perhaps could have educated me as to the somewhat more inconveniently long tag.
Thanks.

When I'm mobile, I use regular quotes, too. Typing </blockquote> on a smart phone using Swype, into a large text box that doesn't nearly fit on the tiny screen, is a particularly tedious and painful exercise.
If there were JS buttons above/below the text input box that inserted those tags, they'd save obscene amounts of time.
