google doesn’t want nor care about tracking what businesses do, they want to track residential for ad revenue. they don’t want a bunch of businesses suing them for invasion of privacy.

Per Google’s T&Cs, Google Fiber customers are not allowed to run servers on the network. We’ve had a few people contact us about doing this, and we’ve appropriately turned them down.

BTW, Google Fiber will be installed into this house and the http://homesforhackers.com house on Monday @ 1pm CST. Follow the http://kcsv.org/blog for photos, videos and live streaming of the installation.
