Google Fiber has signed a deal to acquire Webpass, a high-speed wireless ISP, Webpass announced yesterday.
"By joining forces, we can accelerate the deployment of superfast Internet connections for customers across the US," Webpass founder Charles Barr wrote. "Webpass will remain focused on rapid deployment of high-speed Internet connections for residential and commercial buildings, primarily using point-to-point wireless."
Google Fiber has yet to comment on the deal, which is expected to close this summer pending regulatory approval. We've contacted Google Fiber to get more information on how the acquisition fits into its expansion plans, and will provide an update if we get one.
