Google Fiber is expanding to four more cities

According to a recent report, Google will soon be detailing the next part of its internet service crusade which involves bringing Google Fiber to Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, and Raleigh-Durham. Details will be released over the next couple of days which may give us a hint as to why Google seems to be favoring southern cities in its Fiber expansion. 

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. Google recently sent invitations to local news organizations in those four cities to attend events this week, without identifying the subject. The Atlanta and Nashville events are scheduled for Tuesday, Raleigh and Charlotte on Wednesday and Durham Thursday, according to local news reports. A Google spokeswoman declined to comment. Officials in the four areas didn’t return requests for comment.
