Today we’ve invited 34 cities in nine metro areas around the U.S. to work with us to explore what it would take to bring them Google Fiber. In the coming months, we'll work with each city's leaders on a joint planning process to map out a Google Fiber network in detail and assess potential challenges to bringing 100x faster Internet to these communities. We aim to provide updates about which of these cities will be getting Google Fiber at the end of the year. Learn more: http://goo.gl/tMg6F9

Can we learn from the last Comcast Merger? I hope we can. This recent NPR interview with Susan Crawford goes into the details.
The big risk here is a larger Comcast can leverage Content to keep new entrants out of the market.
That new entrant has to enter on two levels. It has to build communications infrastructure. But it also has to get access to programming, because 91 percent of Americans have paid TV prescriptions, as well as high-speed Internet access subscriptions. They want both. So Comcast pays much less for programming - because it has so many subscribers, and because it owns one of the big players - than any new entrant would. This is yet another cudgel, another sledgehammer that Comcast can use to keep any potential alternative network competition at bay.

Finally some positive news for the stray dogs in Sochi.
If anyone can find a way to monetarily support their work please let me know. In the meantime I'm donating to the Detroit Dog Rescue, which is facing a similar stray dogs problem.
