But even though Google Fiber is expanding slowly, the service is having an effect in lots of other cities [csmonitor.com]. That’s because existing providers such as Comcast and AT&T are rolling out their own super-fast Internet services in cities where Google Fiber is being built, or where Google is rumored to be considering a build.

Last year AT&T began offering gigabit fiber service in Austin, at about the same time that Google Fiber began accepting signups. And earlier in the year AT&T announced that it was considering expanding gigabit fiber service to 100 cities in 21 metro areas, mostly in southern and western states.

Ahem...New York City?
