Although as always they have language giving themselves some wiggle room, most services in GCP would get at least a year of advance notice.

From https://cloud.google.com/terms/ :

7.2 Deprecation Policy. Google will announce if it intends to discontinue or make backwards incompatible changes to the Services specified at the URL in the next sentence. Google will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to operate those Services versions and features identified at https://cloud.google.com/terms/deprecation without these changes for at least one year after that announcement, unless (as Google determines in its reasonable good faith judgment):

(i) required by law or third party relationship (including if there is a change in applicable law or relationship), or

(ii) doing so could create a security risk or substantial economic or material technical burden.

The above policy is the "Deprecation Policy."

That is a wide enough loophole to drive a truck through. And it would apply to Fiber here as well, fixing the roads and fiber runs in Louisville would be a "substantial economic or material technical burden".

Aka, it costs a lot of money, and they don't want to spend it.

Heck, even the continuation scenario has a major caveat: “commercially reasonable efforts”.

So they can easily decide not to stick with it for a year, or they can decide to continue to provide service without, say, any technical support.
