Last week, Google announced that Google Fiber is coming to four new metro areas: Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham and…drum roll please: Nashville! Nashvillians have been buzzing with excitement and could not be more pleased that our five-year old application to be a Google Fiber city has been approved.
Google Fiber offers a TV and internet connection up to 100 times faster than current broadband speeds in the U.S. and currently exists only in Kansas City, Mo. and Kan.; Austin, Texas and Provo, Utah. Although the service is estimated to take about a year to design and construct, Nashville businesses and citizens are already jumping on board, many eager to abandon their current providers. According to the Nashville Business Journal survey Will you get Google Fiber?, more than 70% of people have answered “Absolutely – can’t come soon enough.”
While there are several reasons to celebrate Google’s decision, a few stand out as reasons Google Fiber will further enhance Nashville’s boomtown and “It City” status.
