Google has entered the network fray, as was speculated years ago when they gobbled up a huge chunk of the “black network”  The established fiber optic cable that was laid out by former mega-corp MCI.

Beware DSL, Cable, and even Verizon’s Fiber network.  Google loves to compete.

I just hope Portland gets in the test zone.
