Maybe Google is frustrated with ISPs not getting faster speeds to their customers fast enough, and at the same time seeing some ISPs wanting to raise rates and go to a per-bit model to protect their cabletv revenue, and starting their own service so that users can take advantage of google's bandwidth heavy products and future ideas.
The fact that we are getting screwed on price for our current "high speed" internet.
They'll use that speed to jack advertisements straight into your brain. They'll make a mint.
Google's been known to own a lot of dark fiber for sometime, that could help with this.
Remember before gmail was out, the limits for mailboxes were absolutely tiny everywhere else? Gmail was able to offer multi-GB mailboxes, partly because 90% of users will never hit full capacity. Could be a similar thing with gISP.
As for making money, google's been looking into the video rental thing through youtube. With speeds like this you could stream at qualities equal to blu ray.
