Other cities on the potential to-do list include Phoenix, Portland, OR, San Antonio, and San Jose. The effort in Portland hit a pothole due to a new state tax law, reports The Oregonian. However, state law makers vow to address Google's concerns.
Google Fiber has operations up and running in Kansas City (Missouri and Kansas) and Austin, TX, as well as Provo.
