I received an email yesterday thanking me for my interest and asking to pass it on, and letting me know they would keep me updated. I am in Atlanta.

Awesome. I received an email from my councilman a little over a week ago with this in it.

Google Fiber Coming to College Park?:
[SIZE=4]You have undoubtedly heard that Google has identified College Park, along with Atlanta and several other suburbs, as a candidate to install a fiber optic communication network throughout the City. The initial intent is to provide residences with very high speed internet access (up to 1 Gigabit per second) and “cable” TV. If implemented, this will make Google a provider similar to Comcast and AT&T, but with significantly higher download/upload speeds from/to the internet. Google will work with the City over the coming months to determine the feasibility of making this happen. I recently attended an information meeting with Google. This has the potential of being a significant benefit to all of us.[/SIZE]
I need to go to the next meeting, but it looks like at least my councilman is very friendly to the idea of GFiber

College Park is just being considered, like the other cities in the area mentioned.

College Park Makes Premature Google Fiber Statement | WABE 90.1 FM

Google won't announce anything until the end of this year.

I living in "Smyrna" soon to be "Atlanta" after the zip code change and I got the same email when I signed up a few weeks ago. I saw in ABC that it was not a sure thing for college park: Google Fiber not a sure thing for College Park after all - Atlanta Business Chronicle, although Google hasn't announced where areas it will move into, yet.

Off topic, but out of curiosity, are they changing the zip to 30339 like they have done for parts of Marietta like the IBM Building at the end of Windy Hill and parts of Windy Ridge? Also, do you think the motivation for changing is so that the new Braves stadium will be located in Atlanta instead of Smyrna? I have always had confusion about the unincorporated area of Atlanta that is in Cobb County and how it seems to spread based on what major players prefer to say the location is Atlanta.

You live in unincorporated Cobb. Right now they are only considering places within the city limits (Of a few metro cities including Atlanta and Smyrna). Not places just with a certain address. Unincorporated areas will probably get it much later. They are just now beginning to consider unincorporated counties near Kansas City where Fiber launched.
