The FINAL HOURS: Asheville’s push for Google fiber (via Twitter)
Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we’ve never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.

It’s like reading the personal journal of a schizophrenic.
Marketwatch.com did some digging for details on Google’s project. It didn’t find many, but came up with a few.

Thanks to Michael Muller for catching this article.
I went to the Google website and nominated Carson City Nevada because there is no intelligent life in WNC. Carson City has legal prostitution and medical marijuana and a far higher proportion of overpopulation activists. So I am planning to move there. Beam me up Scotty!
Please do.
Gordon, is this something that City Staff won’t just take care of???
