broadband service. But Time Warner Cable does not believe there is a viable amount of consumer

interest to justify offering that sort of connectivity to its customers.

At the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference, Time Warner Cable's Chief Financial Officer

Irene Esteves said, "We just don't see the need of delivering that to consumers."

The Google Fiber experiment began in November of last year when the company began rolling

out the service in select neighborhoods in my hometown of Kansas City.

Though Google Fiber promises connectivity of up to 1 Gps, actual speeds of 600-700 Mbps

were reported in some areas, which is still much faster than average broadband speeds.

Seemingly content to maintain the status quo of internet connectivity, Esteves confirmed

that the provider has little interest in delivering Google Fiber level speeds to its consumers

due to a scarcity of demand when she said, "We're in the business of delivering what

consumers want, and to stay a little ahead of what we think they will want."

Esteves.
