WTH Portland, why aren't we getting Google Fiber?

I'm a bit miffed right now.  First it was Kansas City, then Austin, now Provo.  What about Portland?  There are tens of thousands of technology workers in the area and creative industries exploding.  Did former Mayor Sam Adams screw up the application?

Akamai's State of the Internet data, average connection speed of various states, below.  Note that Utah is at the top of internet speeds.  They're beefing up Provo internet speeds because...?




Or is this some sort of tactic to appeal to Red States and their federal representation?
