Two months after Google announced that it will try to bring fiber Internet to 34 cities in nine metro areas, AT&T today said
it will "expand its ultra-fast fiber network to up to 100 candidate
cities and municipalities nationwide, including 21 new major
metropolitan areas."
Before anyone gets too excited, AT&T isn't promising that it will
actually build in any or all of these cities. "This expanded fiber
build is not expected to impact AT&T’s capital investment plans for
2014," the company's announcement said, possibly to assure investors
that it isn't wasting money.
But AT&T will consider building in the cities that provide the best options.
"AT&T
will work with local leaders in these markets to discuss ways to bring
the service to their communities," the company said.
