Communities waiting to hear if they’ve been selected for Google’s high-speed Internet access contest will have to wait a little longer.
In February Google said it had plans to deploy a 1 Gig per second, fiber-to-the-home network in several communities in the US. Over 1100 towns and cities responded to their request-for-information feeler, hoping to become one of the Google fiber finalists.
Google promised to declare winners by the end of the year. But on Wednesday, Milo Mendes, VP of Access Services, said the selection process will take more time because “we want to make sure we get this right.”
Google said it will announce winners in early 2011.
