If you’ve been following the progression of Google Fiber over the last six or so years, you know it has concentrated on whipping up its fiber network from scratch. But as this week’s Huntsville, Ala., news attests, the company is amplifying its line of attack.

Now, in its latest fiber city, San Francisco, Google’s laser is homing in on multiple dwelling units using existing fiber.

“We have a lot of work to do before we can offer details on service and timing, or identify the specific condos, apartments and affordable housing properties that will be connected,” Michael Slinger, director of business operations at Google, posted in a blog. “In the meantime, residents and property owners interested in Google Fiber can sign up for updates on our website.”

Never bashful about hailing its efforts to help shrivel the digital divide, the Google Fiber blog goes on to report: “We also want to help residents get online for the first time. One of our leading initiatives will be connecting some public and affordable housing properties to gigabit speed Internet — for free. In partnership with the Nonprofit Technology Network (NTEN), we’re also bringing the Digital Inclusion Fellowship to San Francisco … Through these efforts, we hope to make the Internet more affordable and accessible for those most affected by the digital divide.”
