"Google has officially invited 34 cities in nine metro areas to become the next batch of the Google Fiber rollout.
Google said it 'genuinely would like to build in all of these cities,' but that the complexities of deploying networks may not allow it. 'During this process, we will work with each city to map out in detail what it would look like to build a new fiber-optic network there,' Google said. 'The most important part of this teamwork will be identifying what obstacles might pop up during network construction — and then working together to find the smoothest path around those obstacles. Some might be easy, some might take some creative thinking or a few months to iron out, and in some cases there might be such local complexities that we decide it's not the right time to build Google Fiber there.'"

In Kansas City Google decided to install the fiber downtown and mid-town. Most of the population lives in the suburbs and does not have fiber. To say Kansas City has fiber is a bit of a stretch. It bothers me when Google says it's moving on to other cities when they didn't even finish KC. Just look at the Google map and see for yourself: https://fiber.google.com/cities/kansascity/ [google.com]
