Access, the Alphabet internet division containing Google Fiber, will lay off employees and replace its CEO as it looks for cheaper ways to deliver internet service to new cities.
Current Access CEO Craig Barratt made the announcement in a blog post this evening, saying that he would be staying on only in an advisory role. He didn’t state how many employees were being laid off, but ArsTechnica reports that it’s around 9 percent of the company.
