Re: where it counts?

Afterall, google fiber is going coax inside the home too..

Wait, do you mean for standard televisions, or does all of the data on the fiber at some point come in over coaxial?

Google Fiber can use WiFi, coax or Ethernet to connect its set top boxes to its "Storage Box" (DVR).

Coax is more than adequate to deliver any sort of data around the home. And chances are you already have a perfectly serviceable in-home Coax network. No sense deploying an in-home Fiber or Ethernet network (at least, not for Google Fiber purposes) when you've got Coax right there.

So the idea is that for each machine, you get (or buy, I'm not sure which) a converter?
