Actually, that's closer to seven billion. 2.5 they already had, plus 4 billion from the recent public offering. It makes sense, though. Their stock was inflated, so they sold some. Fiber is about the cheapest we're going to see in awhile, so they bought some. As for making their own internet, I don't think they'd do that. But if they did make a new internet that was more secure and relatively free from spam, people would line up in droves to sign up. I would.
