Google Fiber announced plans on Wednesday to offer Internet service in San Francisco apartments, condos, and affordable housing properties.
Instead of installing its own fiber cables, Google said it will use existing fiber, allowing it to bring service to the city more quickly.

But in the San Francisco case, Google is not saying what entity it is leasing or buying fiber from or when it will start offering service.
