Google Fiber will continue to provide service in the cities where it is already installed. In October 2016, all expansion plans were put on hold and some jobs were cut. As part of this restructuring plan, Google Fiber would become a subsidiary of Alphabet and may become part of the Access and Energy business unit. On August 10, 2015, Google announced its intention to restructure the company, moving less central services and products into a new umbrella corporation, Alphabet Inc. Google Fiber announced expansion to Austin, Texas, and Provo, Utah, in April 2013, and subsequent expansions in 20 to Atlanta, Charlotte, the Triangle, Nashville, Salt Lake City, and San Antonio. Initially proposed as an experimental project, Google Fiber was announced as a viable business model on December 12, 2012, when Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt stated "It's actually not an experiment, we're actually running it as a business," at the New York Times ' DealBook Conference. The service was first introduced to the Kansas City metropolitan area, including twenty Kansas City area suburbs within the first three years.
In mid-2016, Google Fiber had 68,715 television subscribers and was estimated to have about 453,000 broadband customers.
It provides fiber-to-the-premises service in the United States, providing broadband Internet and IPTV to a small and slowly increasing number of locations. Google Fiber is part of the Access division of Alphabet Inc.
