Map: The 34 cities that may be awarded Google Fiber by year’s end

If you've been salivating over Google Fiber because of the company's limited rollout so far, take note: Google is working with nearly three dozen cities to expand its high-speed fiber optic service. Not all of them are likely to wind up getting Google Fiber; the company's first step is to find out from local officials what would be required to build out the infrastructure in each area. But the announcement is Google's latest move to compete with incumbent carriers in local broadband markets.

The communities under consideration include areas around San Jose, Portland, Atlanta and San Antonio, among others. Here's the full list:

Arizona - Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe

California - San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Palo Alto

Georgia - Atlanta, Avondale Estates, Brookhaven, College Park, Decatur, East Point, Hapeville, Sandy Springs, Smyrna

North Carolina - Charlotte, Carrboro, Cary, Chapel Hill, Durham, Garner, Morrisville, Raleigh

Oregon - Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Gresham, Lake Oswego, Tigard

Tennessee - Nashville-Davidson

Texas - San Antonio
