"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.'"

Good grief, $120 per month for 3mbps? I live a Third World country in South-East Asia and I can get a 5mbps connection for something like the equivalent of $30 or so, and an optional POTS for $10 extra which they won't force on you (I got it, because mobile signal reception isn't what it could be in a house built of reinforced concrete). 7 Mbps shouldn't set you back more than $50, if only the place where I lived could have it.
