I fundamentally disagree… Aside from some “hobby” projects, Google’s strategies are very clear if you understand how they make money. See my post at:

I also think you are confusing two separate things:
- When Google was looking for (and buying) dark fiber, it was for their own backbone, i.e. inter data center
- Now Google is talking about a local access/distribution network service for customers

2 totally different projects

To your point about DC backups, technologies such as server virtualization, de-duplication, private clouds etc will play a huge role in setting DR strategies. Of course, connectivity is at the base of it all and the importance of a secure, available connection cannot be emphasized enough. These new technologies (or waves in IT) will have an impact on bandwidth consumption which will actually benefit the carriers by not overloading their networks in case of a disaster. Also, the ever increasing costs of data centers are fundamentally changing the way data centers will be designed and operated in the future. Thanks, Shankar Hi Chris, your blog posts are very interesting and shed light from a carrier’s perspective.
