Google Fiber for Communities: Next steps

The deadline for responses to our request for information has passed. We will announce our target community or communities by the end of the year.

Since we announced our plans to build experimental, ultra high-speed broadband networks, the response has been tremendous. Hundreds of communities and hundreds of thousands of individuals across the country have expressed their interest in the project. We're not going to be able to build in every interested community - our plan is to reach a total of at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people - but we hope to learn lessons from this experiment that will help improve Internet access everywhere.

We humbly thank each and every community and individual for taking the time to participate. If one message has come through loud and clear, it's this: people across the country are hungry for better and faster Internet access
