Seems like Google is playing hardball with local municipalities throwing up roadblocks to Google Fiber.

It's funny how often people are happy to pay for something, but when you offer them something for free suddenly they want more. Overland Park should have taken a good deal when it was offered, but they got greedy, they wanted protection for some potential future costs, although the benefits of Google Fiber to the community probably greatly outweigh these potential future costs. Can't blame Google for moving on - they're sending a strong signal to future Fiber communities.
