Google has begun working with city leaders to explore the possibility of building a super fast network for San Diego, California. This means understanding local requirements and challenges – from roads and infrastructure to permits and utility paths. This will take time.

There are reports on the web that it may also be coming to Irvine, California and Louisville, Kentucky.

    The local news said it would only cover the central part of the city, and that it was pretty much a done deal. The rest of the county is not going to get it.
