Having coffee in the mug when you took the picture, was a nice touch. I can't rep you yet, it is too soon so all I can give is a thumbs up!

I repped him for you. We ordered the shirt, and didn't even receive that, while Mike is practically clothed and fed by Google.

Meh. I had to make the coffee myself. With an assist from Keurig.

Wow, can't imagine how much the coffee cup has increased in value. Once the word was out that google was backing off future fiber developments my shirt value was estimated to have gone to 15 cents. And to think I couldn't sell it for 10 cents at my last garage sale.

Does anyone else think that maybe Alphabet is a poorly ran company? They're cancelling projects left and right lately. Of course Google Plus is somehow still alive and well

Maybe not a poorly run company, but one run by people who transformed the search world (and with infinite profit margins to boot) probably thought running an ISP would be easy in comparison. Now the realization has set in that 1) it's not as easy as they thought and 2) the margins rent quite he same, so someone with financial sense within alphabet is not going to let the ISP be the loss leader.
