Google plans to build high-speed broadband service

I think some other companies (Verizon?) have come out now and said they can provide faster technology as well so this may force faster service

What's interesting, to me at least, is that Google says the system will be open allowing customers to select from a wide variety of service providers. But does that mean I can choose Comcast cable, even though I'm not in a Comcast market? My guess is no. But we shall see
