Google Expands Google Fiber For Business

Google today announced that the company has expanded Google Fiber business-class service into Provo, Utah and additional markets in Kansas City. According to a Google Fiber blog post, customers in available markets can now head here to sign up for the $100 per month service. Google Fiber launched business class service in November of last year, after taking a little heat from startups running into the residential Google Fiber terms of service regarding server operation.

How extensive is Google's fiber deployment?

 
I'm not talking about press releases, but places where google fiber (residential and business) is actually up and running.

Central Kansas City MO/KS has most rolled out so far with about half the KC metro burbs coming over next several years. Parts of Provo UT already has GFiber and Austin rollout has just started (south part of city).

Austin is still building. They just did a fiberhood drive recently. But to answer the question. One actual city/metro. One area that already had ftth/gig service and a done of cities that will never see service in the next 7+years.

Biz Class Terms

Google seems to be allowing public streaming web servers. There is a music service (newappetite.com) that is (I think still is) on Google Fiber network and Google has been allowing it. Google has mentioned 10Gb upgrades (when it makes sense) so may be able to stay on top of it but surprising they allow streaming services.

The GF $100 biz class service might have more economic impact for GF cities than residential Gbit.

Re: Biz Class Terms

Smart businesses still will never use it and healthcare center can never use it due to mining and HIPAA compliance.

As if their current ISPs don't already do that.

Anything important should be sent enciphered over strong cryptographic connections.
