Last week, it became pretty evident that Google is going to announce that the North Carolina markets of Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham would be the next to get Google Fiber high-speed broadband service. Now comes a report that two additional expansion cities — Atlanta and Nashville — are slated to be announced as early as today.
This is according to the Wall Street Journal, which reports that civic leaders in these two metro areas have received invites to Google-related events, much like what we described happening in North Carolina.
The events don’t mention the nature of the event, but given how all four of these metro areas were on Google’s list of possible expansion markets earlier this year, it’s either news of Google Fiber’s impending arrival or a setup for the biggest letdown since Snowmageddon 2015.
We’ll know soon enough, as the Nashville and Atlanta events are scheduled for today. Events in Charlotte and Raleigh are slated for Wednesday afternoon, followed by one more in Durham on Thursday.
