Google will be able to get their fiber-optic network running in Provo before the network is running in Austin because they will pay just $1 for a municipal fiber-optic system that cost $39 mil to build. Provo households will be able to get basic internet service from Google's network for NO CHARGE if they pay a $30 hookup fee.
