Google Inc. said it will bring its Google Fiber broadband Internet service to Provo, Utah, the third U.S. city slated for the program, as the company steps up plans to expand speedy online access to consumers.
The Mountain View, California-based company has signed an agreement to purchase iProvo, an existing fiber-optic network owned by the city, Kevin Lo, general manager at Google Fiber, said in a blog post today. Google, whose plan needs approval by the city council at a vote scheduled for next week, aims to upgrade and finish construction of the network, which will deliver speeds of 1 gigabit per second.
