We despise you Kansas Cityians (I know that is not a word)

No seriously Kansas City....a very large I dislike you.
I just read the details too G. That is the TV + Internet package.
Sounds so lovely
Believe me guys, I hate it as well and I'm only 15 minutes South of their coverage area. I just hope like hell it's a big hit and they've made it easily expandable because I'd be all over that when and if I can.
I'm guessing 3 hours away is too far

WOW. Time to get this shizzle to Houston.
So... did I read/hear that right that other cities with pre-registered will be added next? Or, was it just talking about KC?
See, this shit REALLY pisses me off. Because of these fuckin' companies that have a god damn stranglehold on parts of the US, this shit will NEVER be what it should be. The US is a fuckin' third world country in the internet race compared to countries like Japan and Korea. It's REALLY god damn sad.
Id still rather live in the US though Mors lol
Yeah as a Country we are quite a bit behind.
I'd just love for my town to get Fios in my area
Free market, baby!

LOL are you really going to say that telcoms operate in a "free market". Hell until just recently they were monopolies. I don't think it was until the early 00s that I even had a choice.
Competition is ALWAYS best. Google does this and that REQUIRES everyone else to respond or die.
I should note that Google's t.v. package is REALLY bad right now but I suspect they will get more channels as time goes on.
Looking at their current list, honestly, it's not that bad. The only channels that I don't see listed that I would miss would be AMC, TBS, TNT and ESPN/2/U/etc. Other than that, that thing has every other channel I watch regularly. For TBS, TNT and AMC, I could just watch the shows online. ESPN channels, I really don't even care about ESPN these days outside of college football. And for 1Gbps speeds, fuck, I could part with AMC, ESPN, TBS and TNT until they added them.
Well, not a "free" market. But the market is still the driver of our broadband penetration, and thus far the market hasn't responded here the way it has in other countries. I really meant "capitalism", but "free market" was what popped to mind.
And yes, the fact that you didn't have a choice (and the vast majority of people still don't) is just part of the problem. I don't think Google is going to cause a response from the general industry. They will in Kansas City, but unless Google starts putting this into every major metropolitan area, and I mean yesterday, it's not going to initiate a response in the near-term.
