Google fiber
After the company scaled back its ambitions last year a report suggests that Alphabet may be looking to spin off or sell Google Fiber sometime in the new year. The Information's paywalled report doesn't really offer any hard evidence of this claim, simply citing companies like CenturyLink as possible buyers should Google Fiber get tired of the telecom business. Google Fiber booted its CEO and a small number of employees last year after executives apparently got tired of the time consuming nature of the fiber build and the underwhelming uptake by consumers.
