Google Delays Announcement On Next Google Fiber City

Google has delayed the company's planned announcement specifying the next city or cities to get Google Fiber. Back in February Google announced it was working with 34 potential cities for future Google Fiber deployment. As noted at the time, it's unlikely that Google was going to deploy to all of those locations -- only one or two of the cities that were the most accommodating.

In a statement sent to the media however, Google now says that their plan to announce their next target city before the end of 2014 won't be happening, and users will need to wait until sometime early next year for more build out specifics.

"This year gigabit Internet has moved from idea to reality, as mayors and city leaders across America have stepped up and made high-speed broadband access a priority for their community,” the company said in a statement.

"We’ve been working closely with cities around the U.S. to figure out how we could bring them Google Fiber, and we’re grateful for their vision, commitment, and plain old hard work. While we were hoping to have an update for cities before the holidays, we have a bit more work to wrap up; we’ll be back in touch sometime early next year."

As it stands, Google Fiber is currently available in parts of Kansas City, Austin and Provo, Utah.
