Residents in the Missouri communities of south Kansas City, Kansas City north, Grandview, Raytown and Gladstone are able to begin signing up to try to get Google Fiber. Google Fiber said on its blog (http://bit.ly/1gldDCz) that it’s deciding where to bring the high-speed Internet service next. A certain number of households in a “fiberhood” designated by the company need to sign up for the area to qualify for service. The company plans to bring Google Fiber to communities that meet the goal by the end of the year. The 21 fiberhoods in the Kansas City metropolitan area that didn’t meet the threshold in 2012 also have an opportunity to try again.
