So, Kansas City, MO has been selected for the google fiber project and i have a couple questions on how this may be rolled out for anyone familiar with how and IPS may go about something like this.
first off, would fiber need to be run to each individual unit or would fiber be run to the building and be distributed over coax?
secondly, if it would go to each individual unit over coax, has anyone ever heard of an ISP company owning the actual lines in a building? do these usually have an expiration contract where ownership is transferred back to the building/home owner? i understand why a company would want to do this (monopoly on the building) but is there any way out of something like that?
****and lets try and avoid the commentary about HOA's and condo living****
