All of us at CTC extend our congratulations to our friends at the City and County of San Francisco on today’s announcement that Google Fiber will provide gigabit services to many consumers in San Francisco.

The City has worked tirelessly for over a decade to expand the availability of fiber-based services to both residences and businesses, and today’s announcement is a testament to those efforts to demonstrate the importance of the broadband speeds enabled by fiber optics — as well as a testament to the City’s efforts to attract private sector competition in broadband.

CTC is proud to have advised the City over more than a decade regarding expansion of its own fiber network, fiber optic dig once policies, and trends in the broadband market.
