Google’s bought plenty of dark fiber in the past.

    I’m not sure there is ever an obvious answer, when it comes to Google. Although it is fun speculating about what they may be up to next. I like the theory I read elsewhere (here I think)that Google is planning on using the dark fiber to build their own internet. Now that would shake things up a bit ;)

    Google is big enough and powerful enough to have its own internet service, that only runs sites from itself. (Only Google search)

    Google can’t rule the world even if it is telephony world.
