Isn’t fiber too expensive for rural areas?
The Wired Road project uses a business model that is entirely different from traditional broadband networks. The Wired Road, when complete, is projected to have many service providers offering a wide array of services, including voice telephony, television programming, Internet access, telemedicine/telehealth services, business videoconferencing services, home and business security services, movies on demand, business and residential computer backup services, and many other advanced services. This multi-service model, rather than just selling triple play or Internet only (what most call “broadband”) provides a very robust business model that easily pays for fiber connections to most homes and businesses, even those located in the more rural areas of Carroll and Grayson counties.
