Oh, and don't forget, Google is running for president in 2012.
Come-on, kids... Rumor mills are just that, rumors. Did anybody just think that Google bought up dark fiber because it might either be a good investment, or that maybe they needed to connect some of their data-centers together? |

From what I hear Google mirrors their servers to and from the East and West Coast nightly, and when they do it generally totally saturates the pipes they're using in-between until the mirroring and backup is completed, which occasionally wreaks havoc. I have it on good word from an industry insider that their mirroring is by far the most-painful and bandwidth-hungry mirroring he'd ever seen even amongst the bigshot companies.
So I'm not the least bit surprised Google would therefore want more pipe to use, whatever they can get and wherever they can get it. |

Please don't forget the "mill" part...
a machine that manufactures by the continuous repetition of some simple action

Many people said Google would never offer 1GB email, well they did. A year later more said they would never offer 2GB emails, well they did. You can find these statements all over the web/usenet by using Google.
