Google Fiber is coming to Salt Lake City
Tuesday, March 24, 2015
During my time working in Provo, I’ve seen the impact of Google Fiber firsthand. Hackers from across the country have gathered at
DevMountain
to
develop
new web and mobile applications; the
United Way of Utah County
has
promoted
new digital literacy programs throughout the community; and one organization, called
Now I Can
, has used Google Fiber to remotely
connect
parents with their children undergoing intensive physical therapy in Provo.
Now,
another city
in the
Silicon Slopes
is poised to show the world what’s possible with gigabit Internet. Today, we’re ready to bring Google Fiber to one more metro area—Salt Lake City.
Salt Lake has more than breathtaking mountain vistas and fantastic ski slopes. It also hosts a booming technology sector, world-renowned universities and a vibrant local culture. We’re looking forward to seeing Salt Lake residents use gigabit Internet to spark creative ideas, jumpstart businesses and collaborate in ways they couldn't before.
Salt Lake City will
join
the Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville and Raleigh-Durham metro areas in the design phase of building our fiber network. Over the coming months, we’ll work closely with these cities to map out just where to lay our fiber-optic cables. There’s a lot of work ahead; as the new Associate City Manager for Google Fiber in Salt Lake City, I can’t wait to see what the city does with superfast Internet.
