Google Inc. is preparing to offer its high-speed fiber-optic Internet service in four new metro areas, the latest step in a careful expansion of the service.
Google will announce launches of Google Fiber in Atlanta, Charlotte, N.C., Raleigh-Durham, N.C. and Nashville, Tenn. in coming days, according to two people familiar with the situation.

Maybe they will string the fiber between Atlanta and Charlotte up I-85 right by my house. If so, Shirley they’ll let me connect too!
Expanding their spy network.
Greenville SC should get it as well. We are right in the middle.
Dagnabit.
I’m just up the street from the rollout. Laz might be in range though.
Yup. One big pipe sucking all the info you send out or have on your own machines into their server farms.
Wish they come to Las Vegas NV, because Cox is darn near a monopoly. I suppose Google isn’t up to paying the politicians here large untraceable bribes.
I’m in Atlanta! Hopefully it get’s out to the metro areas where 90% of the population lives...
Does anyone understand the mechanics of the Google expansion? Are the digging up the streets, hanging their cable on telephone poles or piggy-backing on existing cable somehow?
An announcement to announce that they are going to make an announcement.
o that Fiber =)
‘__________and don’t call me Shirley - - - - - ‘
Sounds like your approx area is where my NY sister moved to almost 2 years ago.
It is all new infrastructure. The reason they roll it out in selective cities is because it is all done on Google’s dime. They will not suffer unions or political considerations for the most part. Fiber is a separate entity.
L O L!
However, we rarely talk & occasionally email.
Everyone is SOOOoooo busy -
BINGO!!! You nailed it!! Providing the digital highway on which they can tap into all traffic.
