I expect to see Elon on Mars before there's any wide availability of Google Fiber. I remember hearing about Verizon doing a big fiber rollout with Fios, it was going to be everywhere, the next big leap... in 2005. Google's efforts have been no better - what is it now, a decade to get a dozen metro areas? Not even whole cities, or even whole blocks from looking at the SF map, but actually building-specific!

Community broadband seems to be the only real way to go these days.
