And that's exactly what the article talks about. The existing ISPs have a head-in-the-sand approach toward improving services. They saw Google's approach and simply denied that customers don't want better service.
Personally, I like my rates being increased arbitrarily every six months for no better service than I was receiving with absolutely no recourse. I'm not sure that it even could be improved upon, as it's already damn near perfect. Not a month goes by where I don't think, "Gee, I love Comcast's cable speed, not to mention their 5 star customer service, but you know what would be really great is if instead of $60/mo I could pay $75. Sigh, maybe one day."
