I think that is exactly the point. That's why they are doing this; Google doesn't know what exactly will happen when everyone in the USA/world has fiber connections, but they do know that incredible innovation will come. What kind of applications will be built? What kind of applications can be built?
Couple this with the increasing computing power inside each home over the next many years, and Google will have control over an unbelievably fast and large network of computers.
I'd be certain most applications are in the weak-to-strong AI arena.
indeed. The scales of computing technologies have increased by many order of magnitude in their history, and it has never been "enough." Bill Gates infamously demonstrated the danger of predicting how much RAM/Clock speed/Bandwidth/etc. is "enough."
