Google Fiber in the Triangle
A News and Observer story alerted me to the recent approval by Raleigh City Council of 10 Google Fiber hut sites in the city. A quick look at the city council minutes showed me where they were. I took a few minutes this afternoon to map these sites onto Google Maps to get a better look at where Google Fiber might soon be deployed.
The result is this Google Map. I have since added the four sites in Cary and one in Morrisville which have already been approved. I searched for approval of sites in Durham, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Garner but as far as I know these municipalities have not yet approved their sites. If someone learns that this has changed, please give me a heads up and I will add these sites to my map.
The upright Google Fiber bunnies signify fiber hut locations, while the horizontal bunnies indicate where conduit permits have been requested. I’ve also put an icon on Raleigh’s proposed Google FiberSpace at 518 W. Jones St in Glenwood South area.
Mark, several of us have also been documenting the Fiber expansion in the Triangle by Google, AT&T, and others. Check out our community crowd sourcing site. Triangle Fiber Forums http://www.fibertothepress.com/ You are welcome to join.
We could all pull our resources together and add to one big map for the Triangle. One one at Triangle Fiber Forums has each provider like AT&T so we can mark as each one expands.
