Dang, your wife won't move to Provo either? Ok, I don't really want to move there either. But sometimes sacrifices have to be made in the name of fast internet!

On a more serious note. I had heard that Lehi did make a pitch to get Google Fiber when this first started. I wonder if there's still enough interest. This area is growing like crazy and it's rural enough to make installation easy.

I can't imagine Provo by itself is a big enough market to be interesting to Google. The entire county isn't much more than half the size of Austin. I have to believe that they see Provo as the starting point for entry into the Wasatch Front.

Not to mention friggin Utopia is like iProvo 2.0.

I definitely see that happening. The big question in my mind is how they're going to interact with Utopia. Both Orem and Lindon have Utopia already. So will they go head to head with them? Or are they just going to skip those cities and hit all the other ones?
