Yeah, totally can't be done. It especially can't be done profitably.
Google can afford to start almost any project they want, and they are in a unique position to negotiate peering and access to a ton of bandwidth, with their Youtube, Google Search et al. As to whether it will be profitable, well, obviously, that is their claim. It's yet to be demonstrated. I gotta reject the idea that broadband providers should be required to follow in Google's footsteps though. For now, Google fiber is another risky experiment, that could have a great payout if successful, or could be shuttered within a year or so, or fees/rate incs tacked on, when they figure out just what a mess they have gotten into.
