Councilmembers Approve Google Fiber Ordinance

Posted
and last updated

Members of the Metro Nashville Council passed the controversial "One Touch Make Ready" ordinance in its second reading.

The ordinance needed to pass before Google Fiber could move forward in Nashville.

Google paused their development in Nashville because many of the utility poles needed for lines were already being used by AT&T, Comcast and the Nashville Electric Service.

The ordinance would allow one company to make a pole ready for fiber by moving all the lines.

The ordinance must pass a third reading for it to take effect.
