what about google?s experimenting with a lot of different businesses like this one. >> yes. it really aligns with a lot of their strengths. , they had atwork sense of their own internet act on for much of the country. once they own that, sending files around the town, sending e-mails back and forth, it essentially cost them nothing. to get to geek out, but essentially, google has an arrangement with the owners of networks,pieces of where they're buying capacity for biggest is ever. a lot of the time, because they're buying -- vying for the peak moment, they have unused capacity. this gives a chance to use the unused capacity with what they are ready buying for youtube and other things in a way that few of the companies could possibly do. maybe apple and maybe amazon and maybe that is the list. >> interesting. i wonder if apple and amazon will respond in any way given going into is uncharted territory here. book,er wrote a wonderful one up on wall street. he spoke about one of the reasons when he was run

google fiber in provo.ttempt tor is an jumpstart internet service to unprecedented speeds. your typical cable modem, 10 megabits per second. who will fiber, 1000 megabits per second. fiber is faster than verizon's files -- fios. competitors google is leaving in the dust, centurylink and time warner cable. google fiber started in kansas city and 2012. now it is in provo and coming soon to austin. google wants to bring the service to 34 more cities. ting-edge modems cabled right into each customer's home. it will cost google as much as $900 per household. if google builds it, will customers come? 15 million atv customers will come, giving google fiber nearly as big a customer base as comcast's 24 million. >> google's expansion plan for fiber could threaten certain cable providers. let's talk about that. in austin, plans have been slowed down by at&t. they are saying, you cannot run your fiber of our telephone poles. we were here first. when were talking about this potential comcast-time warner -- just ase com

how does google overcome those kinds of challenges? >> google is not laying pipe here. they already have fiber to the home here. they don't have to do all of the work. they have been selective about the things they're working with. kansas city had to give up a lot to do this. dedicated workers and staff, salaried employees. they had an expedited process to use city infrastructure to get these things out. google is selecting places where they can get this rolled out in the most simple way. the customer service numbers for google have been strong. time warner cable is the only company worsen comcast when studies have been done on customer service. i think they will be selective in the markets they go into, places where they can make a difference but also get it done quickly. if they do 34 cities you will look at a substantial business where they have nearly as many customers potentially as a comcast. >> i was reading yelp reviews on fiber in kansas city and they are mostly positive. what about the regulatory issues? the fcc could make a ruling and change everything, chang

but google is upping the ante. it may force rivals to keep spending money to upgrade their networks. and for google, it's all about consumers having a fast speed internet experience. >> given that google's main profit area is advertising, a faster cable would allow them to do more video advertising and just figure out new applications that they could sell to consumers over that faster pipe. >> reporter: cost is another consideration. google doesn't break down what it's spending on fiber, but analysts say it has already figured out how to turn fiber into a real business. >> i don't think you can expect for them to come to manhattan anytime soon. because i think the costs there would just be too great. but i do think that google is finding a way to make this business actually run fairly break even. >> reporter: everybody agrees that blazing fast internet is the future and the battle between google, at&t, verizon and comcast is just getting started. josh lipton, "nightly business report," silicon valley. >>> and comca
