Not only is Google Fiber still going, it actually has begun expanding service again after being stuck in limbo for a while.

It's a strange one, to be sure, but I guess they see a benefit to the infrastructure they built.

Google Fiber unfortunately got sold to a private equity company and merged with Astound.

Interesting. So ultimately Google is divesting itself of the responsibility and cost of the network.

Given that the pricing is already pretty high compared to what it used to be, I won't be surprised if it begins to creep up again in due time.
