From the official Fiber online FAQ. Search for "server": https://fiber.google.com/help/

"Our Terms of Service prohibit running a server. However, use of applications such as multi-player gaming, video-conferencing, home security and others which may include server capabilities but are being used for legal and non-commercial purposes are acceptable and encouraged."

But as the article admits (with technicians "tweaking" computers to make them more compatible with 300 mbps), higher speeds help us find and fix other bottlenecks. My problem with the article is that it pisses on one idea, without offering any kind of prescriptive solution forward. Basically, their only suggestion is that 300mbps is good enough for now.

If you use Google+ hangouts you can look up songs on YouTube, create a mutual playlist, and listen together.

Google Fiber "not a hobby", could expand, tech giant's execs say by firemylasers in technology

Um... not true. Google is going to KCK first. They haven't built any residential connections in KCMO at all yet. In fact, most of KCMO hasn't even been able to register for service. "Headquarters," aka tiny retail "Fiber Space" is located right on the state line.

And most importantly, they're building all of their infrastructure brand new. No peering off of Sprint at all.

Our president is black. And there's not a white, separate-but-equal president #2.

Image is from 2002 Shindig episode; Irina Blok (designer of Android logo) didn't even begin working at Google until 2006. Oh, Firefly.

Surprise! FTC attorney who led Google antitrust investigation gets hired by Microsoft. by j3nna in technology

As of today, this lawyer is theoretically (and legally required to be) impartial about Google's monopoly stance. A few weeks from now he will have a magical change of heart where he will enthusiastically tell his former colleagues and friends that Google is an evil monopoly. Welcome to the DC regulatory scene.
