Google Fiber to Austin, TX?

Sources: Google to announce ultra high speed Internet in Austin - Austin Business Journal

The city of Austin and Google Inc. are scheduled to make an announcement next week that sources say relates to installing high-speed Internet access to the city.
The installation of what's called Google Fiber would be a major step for technology-centric Austin. Google disclosed Friday that more than 100 community leaders and elected officials are scheduled to attend the April 9 announcement at Brazos Hall.
California-based Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) operated an office in Austin from October 2008 to early 2009. It closed as part of a cost-savings measure that moved 20 jobs to other offices around the country.
Google operates a sales and marketing office on North Mopac Expressway, which remains open.

Being a resident of Houston, can't lie, I'm jealous as fukk. But I get 50 down with Comcast anyway, which is more than enough so I can't be to upset.

Gig.U Congratulates the City of Austin, TX and Google for Gigabit Expansion


(WASHINGTON) Today, Google announced it will add Austin, Texas to the Google Fiber project, joining Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri as American communities that have the power to bring next generation networks home. Gig.U, a coalition of three-dozen research university communities working together to support educational and economic development by accelerating the deployment of next generation networks, issued the following statement by Executive Director Blair Levin:

Gig.U congratulates Google and the City of Austin for their initiative to bring a world-leading network to one of the world's great research university communities. This effort will pay enormous dividends for the country, as it will help develop the human capital America needs to lead a global economy that increasingly creates value with big data and big bandwidth. The Austin project, as well as the recent response to the North Carolina Next Generation Network project demonstrates that university communities are increasingly recognized as attractive partners for next generation network deployments because of the innovative spirit and demand profiles of their residents. We look forward to watching and learning from the exciting growth and innovation to come from the Google Fiber projects, and accelerating such efforts in Gig.U communities throughout the country.
