How is this different than what Google Fiber tried/is trying?

It's not at all different in theory. In practice, Google Fiber is dead on its tracks, isn't it? They are no longer expanding.

The big players in USA need real competition -- something that goes to their cities and offers a better service. A very niche solution like Google Fiber won't do.
