Don&apos;t get me wrong, I&apos;d switch to Google in a heartbeat, but I don&apos;t actually think that $120 price point is much of a slap in the face to existing providers.&lt;p&gt;EDIT: and this is just in Kansas City. Given the existing variations in price across the country, I&apos;ll be very surprised if we are all paying $120 when (if?) it rolls out nationally.</text></comment>

As long as Google makes more money over time than the internet connection costs them, then it could be a very profitable for Google to increase the number of people using Google products and gain great product PR and brand loyalty from these people who get free internet.</text></comment>
