Now Google has announced even grander plans: It wants to beam wireless broadband directly into homes all over America.

While Google hasn’t yet figured out how to make the technology work, a solution would represent a big boon to the broadband industry, Re/code reported. It would solve what’s called the “last mile problem,” which is typically addressed by the slow, expensive process of stringing a web of wires directly into homes.

Google Fiber is now working on connecting wireless towers to existing fiber lines by experimenting with different wireless technologies to make that happen. If Google develops a solution, its parent company, Alphabet, would be able to build a nationwide network to compete with existing giants like A&T, Verizon and Comcast.

yes, and there's a difference between competing with someone and pissing in their soup. it's called maintaining a working relationship and the children in charge of Google don't get that.

The company is expected to be charged with breaking the European Union’s competition rules by unfairly favoring Google services, like its search engine and Google Maps, on its Android smartphone operating system over those of rivals,

google is a poop company from a butt, but this is dumb.

android apps send generic intents saying 'open maps with this data' or 'open search with this search phrase'. another manufacturer is free to, say, pull out the google app store and stick in the amazon app store (like amazon did), or crowbar out google maps and put in bing maps (like i think nokia did at one point?).

I ran android without any google services for a while and it was a disaster

Even if you download from the amazon app store, most stuff will just poo poo itself and crash if the play framework isn't present
