In the blog post, Szuchmacher brings up both Chicago’s and Los Angeles’s fast-growing startup ecosystems. In Chicago, thanks in part to incubators like 1871, the city has turned into one of the top places for startups. The same goes with Los Angeles, which has quickly become one of the fastest-growing tech regions in the country. The availability of Google Fiber in both regions could potentially push both ecosystems to the next level. While the plans aren’t yet definite, the announcement to add Chicago and Los Angeles expands Google Fiber’s list of potential cities. In January of this year, the Internet service announced a major expansion – an expansion that seems to only push further into America’s much larger metropolitan areas.
