An anonymous reader writes This week the Portland City Council has approved a
franchise agreement with Google to bring its fiber service to Portland. "As a
result of the unanimous vote, Google will be subject to a five percent
'franchise fee' on its video revenues. It won't have to pay a three percent
'PEG' fee that Portland otherwise charges rival Comcast, but it will offer
free Internet service for Portland residents for a $300, one-time fee. It'll
also provide free Internet service to some to-be-determined nonprofits, in
addition to providing a total of three free Wi-Fi networks in various parts
of the city."
