It wouldn't work as a seperate internet, google just want to be their own ISP not their own internet.Comment

Also, if it was an ISP, it could be a free ISP (such as Net Zero) where you would get various GoogleAds based on what site you're visiting..... this would probably also mean they'd have to develop a GoogleBrowser...

I believe NetZero has a free version, but it's limited to 10hours a month.Comment

They are more than likely buying dark fiber to connect things needed to run their services. Be is servers or important customer data or allowing two people to work together from separate offices without dealing with the normal congestion you get when working over the internet. Last but not least owning your own internal network allows you to transfer sensitive data without worrying about someone sniffing it while the packets bounce from server to server over the public internet.Comment
