Cheaper when you don't consider Federal Subsidies and cost of clean from oil spills and air pollution from it's use. The TCO of oil is lot higher than people realize.
Only a moron would think this was a good deal. They city pays for the entire infrastructure and then once the bond is paid off will have to pay Google for the pleasure of using the service they the tax payer paid for!
Potsy Potsy Potsy...any corporation sitting on a pile of cash and NOT paying out dividends will start to pay out. That is unless you don't want to attract investors.
You need to read your post, "...there haven't been any new ideas except reiterations of what's done well before." That's exactly what Apple did take existing ideas and reiterate them...iPod (mp3 player), iPhone (cell phone), iPad (tablet)...so no new ideas. Old ideas just repackaged. Hardly earth shattering.
LMOL bone up on the stock market Potsy. Investors have been screaming for dividends for decades. They see the pile of cash and scream give it to the shareholders. Paying dividends and buying back stock is what publicly traded companies do.
Crowd Sourcing by another name is called Mob Mentality. More people doing "something" does not improve the quality given the quality or lack there of the input.
It always amuses me that people who have no background on a particular subject, like these physicists, feel compelled to publish a paper on said topic.
Then I have to laugh when lemmings herald the paper as insightful.

"evidence now points to there being plenty of oil"
LMOL now who's wishful thinking...time to grow up.
Yeah because there's no proof that industry writes legislation that's passed in Congress *eye roll*...Google ALEC sometime....
LMOL...EPA has been the pocket of industry for decades. Moron.
Where the oil magically disappeared from the gulf.....
No the customer don't pay for the infrastructure elsewhere. Guess you love corporate welfare.
Only a moron would think this was a good deal. They city pays for the entire infrastructure and then once the bond is paid off will have to pay Google for the pleasure of using the service they the tax payer paid for!
Yeah shafting the tax payers for $40 million is less evil....
$40 million to have Google Fiber free for 15 years. Yeah great deal *eye roll*
Who knew jackasses who don't know dick about finance post on slashdot....
Somebody is looking in the mirror...
Try posting a basic financial fact sometime....
Actually no one is, but way to misstate what's going on...
Apparently you haven't.
" dividends have a neutral effect on shardholder value"
Based on what data? Offering a dividend and increasing the dividend payout helps retain investors. Investors will hold onto the stock longer.
LMOL another clueless moron who knows nothing about finance.
Call me when you learn something about finance. MOST COMPANIES FINANCE BUYBACKS WITH DEBT.
No it's a common practice.
Financing stock buyback with debt is very common. Alot of corporations do that.

Actually it's not.
Try nonexistent. The authors have ZERO background on intelligence. Basically they are proposing intelligent design....
