I guess AOL really was the best example of the internet.

Seriously though while the google fiber idea is cool, its not really what we need right now. It's just more faster and faster connections being put into select areas, while there are still far too many areas of the country with no alternative to dialup. I'd much rather see a broadband initiative to bring basic 1mb+ connections to all those folks left in the dark of the internet, than to provide a few people these fancy new toy connections.
