I'd say my submission was a bit flowery and hyperbolic in its
opening statement, but not mangled and incoherent. Mostly
overly dramatic, as a metaphor like "scorched foundations" perhaps
implies a bit more damage than AT&T dropping the ball with their
gigabit fiber deployment. It's not like the internet is set to shut
down
or anything similarly serious. That having been said, for the true
internet connoisseur, perhaps this country's gigabit rollout IS
important enough
to warrant such strong analogies.
NOTE: Despite using quote tags and the preview showing proper quotes, these two statements were not quoted properly in the parent post above:
QUOTE1 "Is there any correlation between how they posted the job offering and which cities they have announced in?
Or maybe old posting were plan A and new are plan B?"
QUOTE2 "maybe Google is finding some other value in the deal, Hopefully not Comcast like access to more eyeballs."
And though the above two links only show this for Raleigh and Atlanta, I'll assume the same promise was made to all the potential new cities.
Is there any correlation between how they posted the job offering and which cities they have announced in?
Or maybe old posting were plan A and new are plan B?
If I was a gambling type, I'd wager the cities Google is posting for "local" candidates are the winners and the "telecommuter" position cities are the losers. Nice to see that Google's momentum in the ISP market not only isn't slowing down, but in fact is accelerating.
maybe Google is finding some other value in the deal, Hopefully not Comcast like access to more eyeballs.
Let me tell you about extra value... Who isn't sick of Google not being able to do real time deep packet inspection on all our layer 7 content? I'm tired of getting metro-sexual fashion ads showing guys in tight jeans, when all I really care about is monster trucks and WWF wrestling events. Maybe Google will be able to get the hint finally once they have access to my entire data stream. Did you hear that Google-bots, BIG TRUCKS!?!!
