Google Fiber plans Missouri expansion to Grandview

It's a bit strange, but Missouri hasn't received much attention from Google since Fiber debuted in Kansas City. On the Kansas side of the divide, the blazing-fast broadband has steadily rolled out to new neighborhoods. Hell, plans are already underway to bring the gigabit connection to two completely new states. Yet, there hasn't been much progress through Missouri's enclaves. Finally Mountain View is delivering the Show-Me State a little love, by announcing plans to expand Fiber's reach to Grandview. Residents shouldn't get too excited, though; there is still a ton of work to do. In fact, the effort is still in the planning stages, so sit tight. Still, the city will probably have gigabit internet before 99 percent of the country. (So, maybe get just a little excited.)
