Google: Austin residents can start signing up for Fiber internet in December

[techbeck]

Google Fiber is finally about to expand into a third city, according to The Wall Street Journal. A Google spokesperson said that the company would begin the signup process for Fiber in Austin this December, about half a year later than originally projected. Fiber for Austin was originally announced in April of 2013, with the goal of connecting homes by mid-2014. At that point, the superfast TV and internet service ? which can provide gigabit-quality speeds ? existed only in Kansas City, where it launched in November of 2012. Last year, Google has expanded it to Provo, Utah. But Austin has been longer in coming. Last month, a blog post said that Google had "a detailed network plan in place" and that crews were building core fiber infrastructure. Signups are currently set for "late 2014" on its site.
