Google Fiber Could Come To Dallas

Taking its ongoing fight with AT&T and other incumbents to the next level, Google Fiber today stated the company is considering expanding into yet another sprawling urban market: Dallas.

Dallas would become the third city in Texas to reap the benefits of the high-speed internet service.

In addition to Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas, Google Fiber is also mulling expansions in Portland, Ore.; San Jose, Irvine and San Diego, Calif.; Phoenix; Oklahoma City; Louisville, Ky.; and Jacksonville and Tampa, Fla.

On its Twitter account, Google clarified that the possibility of bringing Fiber to Dallas include just that specific metropolitan area – not suburbs or its neighboring city, Fort Worth.

For the past three years, Texas has been a home to Google Fiber.

Here is Google’s current road map for Fiber.

Szuchmacher said the Google Fiber team is working alongside Mayor Mike Rawlings to see where the internet program could fit into Dallas’ infrastructure and topography.

For people of the Dallas, TX area, that’s the good news, as who wouldn’t be excited about the prospect of super fast Gigabit internet services? The Chocolate Factory already offers Fiber Service in Austin and San Antonio through earlier pilot programs. “That points to there being a lot of entrepreneurs and innovators that could do a lot with high-speed internet”, Szuchamacher told the Dallas News.
