Google Fiber is “impressed by the enthusiasm and engagement” of all 34 cities under consideration for Google Fiber, and all of them have or for the most part completed checklists the company is seeking (CD May 1 p5), Google Fiber said on its blog Thursday (http://bit.ly/1pTbDYT). “There’s still a lot of work to do.” Google Fiber said it will now work on tying up loose ends with the checklists, including working with city councils that have yet to act on approving agreements to allow fiber huts. Video franchise agreements still need to be worked out, said the company. “After all of these steps, we'll start drawing up construction blueprints for local fiber networks. These detailed designs will help us see how complex it would be to build in each city, and will be used as we make our final decisions."
