If they are successful (which I doubt), they are going to go after the bigger fish (revenue) first. Could that impact our bandwidth costs? Probably. How much? I have no idea.
We'll have a good show to watch once Google says "if you want to access us, you need to switch providers". Your world, undelivered.
