To be honest, I'm surprised Google/Alphabet hasn't tried to get into running their own reactor by this point. Energy seems like the one thing they haven't touched yet.
-
Probably because once you start a nuclear reactor you can't kill the project and discard it on a whim.
-
That was a nasty line by you
-
Eh, that's their software side. Google doesn't do that with hardware infrastructure like data centers.
-
Didn't they try to make their own ISP and then left it behind?
-
They didn't kill it where it was already running though.

They Just stopped expanding then?
-
No, they are still expanding. It's just happening really slowly. They are actively laying fiber and expanding in several cities in AZ right now.
A quick search will bring up cities they are planning on moving into.
-
That's my understanding
-
Yes, it was more expensive than anticipated to lay new fiber and then they had to fight entrenched monopolies in control of regulators at every turn.
