Google Fiber Files for Franchise License in Tennessee

Google Fiber filed for a Tennessee franchise license Friday, telling the state's Regulatory Authority it intends to begin offering broadband service in Nashville and surrounding Davidson County within 24 months after the TRA issues a license. Google has identified Nashville as a potential expansion city for its Google Fiber service. A Google Fiber spokeswoman said there’s “still a lot of work to do” before the company decides whether to expand to Nashville. Google hopes to provide an update on its decisionmaking regarding Nashville by year's end, the spokeswoman said.
