How technologically advanced would the municipal infrastructure be? Would it need to be upgraded 5 years down the line and end up costing more each year?
The municipal broadband utility would utilize the most current technology to run fiber-optic cable directly to homes and businesses. The Fiber-to-the-Home/Fiber-to-the-Business (FTTH/FTTB) model ensures that new technology on the horizon (HDTV, streaming video, videoconferencing, etc.) would be available and accessible to every home from the time the infrastructure is built. These new technologies are expected to become more popular during the next several years. It is expected the FTTH/FTTB system will serve users well for in excess of 30 years. Our business plan provides for upgrades and maintenance as a cost of doing business.
