triangle ACC provides information to Google as potential fiber test location
Google is planning to build and test ultra-high speed broadband networks in a small number of trial locations across the country to deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today. As a first step, Google released a Request for Information (RFI) to help identify interested communities. Athens-Clarke County officially responded to the RFI in order to be considered as a test community. For details, visit the Google Fiber for Communities page
