Isn't it only in one or two places? I believe Kansas City (one of the two, I'm leaning towards Missouri) has it in a small part of town, and they're talking about setting up in Austin. That might be it.

I believe Google just bought Park City, UT, so they could use their municipal infrastructure.

Might be off a bit on the details...

I don't know about Park City, but Provo, UT is apparently very close to a deal with Google.  I grew up in the Provo area, so my facebook is abuzz with fiber talk.

You're right, Provo is the place I was thinking of.

I should know the difference, I went to grade school in Cedar City.   :rolleyes:

Gogle Fiber is available in some of Central Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas. They plan to more to North and South Kansas City next but that is about a year at least. Sad for me as I live like 3 blocks away :(
