Google Fiber Vision: ‘To Create Abundant and Ubiquitous Networks’

The ultimate goal of Google Fiber remains a mysterious one. Does it plan to create a long-term, sustainable and profitable business, or is the plan to help to establish a workable game plan for municipal providers while also prodding other Internet service providers to accelerate their move to speeds of 1 Gbps and beyond?

Ruth Porat, the CFO of Alphabet, Google’s new parent company, offered some additional color on yesterday’s earnings call. “Like all of our access efforts, we’re really focused,” she said. “And our vision here is to create abundant and ubiquitous networks. We think there's a lot of opportunity to improve the experience that users have, and that's where the Fiber team is focused.”
