All the incumbent MSO's (cable) and
LEC's (ma bell) across the country are. Cox won the first round
getting SRP as a Cox customer to NOT give fiber to Google in
Phoenix with backdoor negotiations, which caused Google's initial
delay after fanfare.
Cable companies are doing this everywhere, trying to keep Google
from getting in on their game, from getting city permitting denied
to Google construction, to fighting to keep them off the telephone
poles and deny common carrier status. It's all dirty delay
tactics, your tax dollars and subscription fees put to good
work...
Milo Medin, the head of Google Fiber, started the Cable Modem
technology market and was responsible for @Home in the 90's that
brought it to the masses. He saw the MSO's single-handedly kill
off @home in their greed, so he has a special interest in making
them sweat and silently subvert them for revenge. Sadly, Google
is the only one that can, seeing they and Comcast co-own the FCC
and government in their pockets these days.

So looking forward to Google Fiber hitting Tempe but it sounds
like Cox is taking Tempe to court in hopes of stopping it.
