Google Fiber in Kansas City apartments
Although Google Fiber offers free Internet service (in exchange for a $300, one-time INSTALLATION fee), it hasn’t DONE much to expand Internet access in Kansas City. A big part of the reason is that many poor people live in apartments and few landlords in poor areas have signed up for service. The green dots show apartments with Google Fiber in Kansas City. The darker areas have higher poverty rates. The red line is Troost Avenue, the HISTORICAL boundary in racially segregated Kansas City.

Google's next two markets – Provo, Utah and Austin, Texas – are also in the middle of the country, and Kansas City assistant city manager Rick Usher says that's not a coincidence.
"If you graph regulatory requirements, coast to coast, it's like a jump rope – really high on the coasts and lower in the middle," he said.
Portland, though, has been similarly accommodating, crafting a custom "broadband franchise" for Google, approving a LEASE agreement for the company's "fiber huts" – the company wants to put more than a dozen equipment sheds around town – and rewriting city rules so Google can put 200 small "utility CABINETS" along streets around Portland.
(Somebody explain that please.)

Yeah, there is also a lot of positive PR about Google fiber.
- From Google, of course.
Maybe the reason poorer people are not taking up Google fibre is because they have more essential things to spend their money on rather than $300 to have the service installed. How about look at what people paying for the ultra fast Google fibre connections are saying.
