    San Antonio City Council OKed Google Fiber contract

    SAN ANTONIO — The City Council approved an important real estate contract with Google on Thursday and implored the company to officially select San Antonio as a market for its super-high-speed, fiber-optic network.

    Council members also pushed for details about when residents here could get the coveted service.

    The approved long-term, master-lease agreement with Google Fiber Texas, LLC., gives the company the ability to efficiently deploy some 40 “fiber huts” — 12-by-26-foot communications shelters that house tech infrastructure for fiber-optic gigabit Internet, which clocks speeds 100 times faster than typical broadband.
