Google's latest Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filing claims if broadband companies were reclassified under Title II common carrier, Google Fiber would be able to expand with ease.

The filing comes after months of radio silence from Google, leading some to believe the search giant was on the side of broadband companies in the net neutrality debate.

Google claims the reclassification would give easier access to utility poles and key infrastructure, currently locked away by established broadband companies.

Utilities have less control over the management of infrastructure, allowing Google Fiber and other broadband startups to gain equal footing in the battle for customers.

Google Fiber is currently only available in three cities, Kansas City, Provo, Utah and Austin, Texas, and the rollout has been less than ideal. There is still half of Kansas City to reach, and development for Austin, Texas has just begun.

If the reclassification goes through, Google Fiber will not only have a smoother installation process into a city, but Google can quickly start partnering with businesses and public organizations, to offer 1Gbps fiber optic speeds.

AT&T, Comcast and Time Warner Cable have been trying to overrule Google Fiber at every turn, when that is not possible the broadband companies tend to set up their own fiber optic service in the area.

Google Fiber has definitely been a head turner in 2014, with millions of Americans asking for fast-speed internet. Municipal broadband providers have sprung up in all sorts of areas, offering 1Gbps, while providers like Comcast and AT&T stick to 25Mbps.

FCC's net neutrality decision might be the biggest for the U.S. in history, essentially setting the boundaries for the next decade on what broadband companies (and potentially wireless) will be able to do to make additional revenue.
