Will Google take down and clean up the old dying equipment, or will we have to look at that mess and be reminded of the original mess?

Can't wait to get fast fiber to my house! We sorely need more competition. Right now only one company can deliver Internet faster than dial-up to my home, so they can set whatever price and speed they want.

I am outraged that the Google Wifi doesn't work. I paid nothing for the service and Google actually paid the city for the ability to provide the free service but I had expectations that I could stream multiple HD movies to my living room and bedroom simultaneously.

Now they expect me to actually pay for ineternet access?

The correct title of this op-ed piece is "Google plans to make amends for failing WiFi." They have not made any amends yet, only hollow promises which they have repeatedly done before.

If Google wants to talk the talk, they have to walk the walk, and they haven't done any walking yet.

They say they are bringing improved WiFi to downtown Mountain View. *WE THE PEOPLE* will be the judge of that, not Google, not some op-ed writer for the Mountain View Voice.

Don't confuse promises with actions.

It should be clearly noted that Tom Gibboney is the publisher of Embarcadero Media, the parent company of the Mountain View Voice, Palo Alto Online, and Los Altos Almanac.

Whether or not this media executive is molly-coddling to the largest employer of those three towns (MV/PA/LA) is something other readers will have to judge for themselves, however I just wanted to bring light to the provenance of this editorial.

Wake up! Google is just trying to lock out the competition until they decide what they want to do... Or not do.

And really, what good is wifi on Castro Street gonna do for the community as a whole?
