Multichannel News: Google Fiber to Ride Muni-Owned Huntsville Network

February 22, 2016

TBG client, Huntsville Utilities, announces Google Fiber in Huntsville, Alabama.

“Adding a new wrinkle to its service expansion strategy, Google Fiber has inked a deal to offer gigabit and TV services on a fiber network that Huntsville Utilities is building.

Huntsville started down that path in 2014, inviting potential partners to join the effort. Google Fiber said it is on board, and has already set up a site where potential customers in Huntsville can sign up to stay apprised of the progress.

‘So what comes next?

This is just the beginning of the process, so it’s too early to share dates or timelines.'”
