Big Easy | Sounds like a done deal "While Cox and BellSouth are correct when they say they already have fiber-optics networks in Lafayette, that's not the whole picture, Durel said.
Those companies' fiber-optics lines do not run to individual homes. That means the benefits of the nearly unlimited speed of fiber-optics are lost because the signal eventually gets to the home by coaxial cable, Durel said.
LUS plans on running fiber-optics lines directly to subscribers, he said."
If you read the meeting link from the article above, this quote from City/Parish President Durel sounds to like this is a done deal. LUS is a revenue producer for city/parish government (somewhere in the neighborhood of $15 million a year). |
