Frankly, the most neglected part of their analysis is the a can Google actually make money from customers who only pay the initial fee and never pay again for 7 years.

I believe it does. Does that branding offer a regulatory advantage? Will municipalities forgo revenue for high quality utilities? That's probably the question that keeps ISP execs up at nights.
