[ale] OT: Google Fiber has arrived in Atlanta

[Derek Atkins]

And wont be -- it's never been part of the seven (nine?) communities
that are part of the GF buildout.

But I live in Sandy Springs...  But still have to wait.  :(

The other thing I noticed is that the SOHO (Business) rates in Atlanta
are MUCH more expensive than they are in, say, Austin or Provo.  :(
