From the Google Fiber FAQ:

"We are currently focused on our Fiber-to-the-home network, which is for residential consumers. For businesses located in qualified fiberhoods, we plan to introduce a small business offering shortly—stay tuned to google.com/fiber for more details."

Servers are not just a tool for businesses but have a lot of different uses as addressed in the article.

Indeed! I'd like to see at least one tech titan take the mantle of personal/home servers and run with it. I recently said this was something Microsoft could do [1] to differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive environment.

Marginalizing home servers perpetuates an insipid consume-only Internet usage model. The Internet I'd prefer to see is one where serving and consuming are both first-class features for all.
