None of this should come as a surprise. Remember when Google was asking cities across America to apply for the privilege of being the first city to have Google Fiber? Cities were competing against each other for Google Fiber.
Google didn't choose Kansas City for no reason. They chose them because KC was willing to be abnormally accommodating in letting Google roll out. After all, if you're going to launch an ambitious, experimental project, you want regulatory red-tape to be the least of your worries.
