Google and the City of Austin, Texas have sent out joint invites for a press conference that reports suggest could mean that Google Fiber is coming to the city.

Austin is a logical expansion point for the service; it tried very hard to be the test city for the service, as it services companies like Texas Instruments, Samsung, IBM, AMD, and many startups just outside the city. In light of the recently-concluded SXSW it could be another big boon for Austin, bring more business, speed, and new companies to the area.
