Google: ``we expect to make money with Google Fiber''
One of the key points made during his presentation was the assertion that Google expects to make money with the FTTH network it is building in Kansas City: ``We are in this to make money, it has to make economic sense, and it does,'' said Mr. Lo. Google started construction of the new Google Fiber network this week, and expects to switch on the first connections for customers in the first half of next year, delivering 1 Gbps symmetrical speeds to all residents of both Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City Missouri.
``Today we're here to announce that Google Fiber is coming to Austin, Texas,'' Austin mayor Lee Leffingwell said at a press event.
