- An ordinance that would benefit Google Fiber's (GOOG, GOOGL) build-out in the city was passed on its third and final reading earlier this week. AT&T and Comcast had each contested the "One Touch Make Ready" regulation, however, with the former now filing a lawsuit against the city on its passing.
- Google on Tuesday's win: "This will allow new entrants like Google Fiber to bring broadband to more Nashvillians efficiently, safely and quickly. We look forward to continuing our work with NES and the local community."

Comcast post-vote: "We thank the council members who were willing to take a deep look at the risks associated with, and inaccuracies of ‘One Touch’ and stand up for a better solution that is beneficial for all consumers."
- AT&T maintains a similar stance on the policy and has officially filed its lawsuit against Nashville regarding it today.
