1 edit | The big picture Looking at the big picture. The benefits of a public FTTH infrastructure should more than offset the loss of jobs in the long term IMHO.
Lots of high tech companies are looking for just that sort of infrastructure to set up shop. Google just announced they are thinking of setting up an office in a tiny town in Oregon partly because it's wired with a public fiber infrastructure.
It's still too early to tell if this is how things should be heading but this public information highway way of thinking is even farther ahead in Europe. Sweden is the leader. I think a large percentage of their country is wired with public fiber to the home.
It's not that new of a concept. After all, if it makes sense for the highways to be publicly owned then why not the information highways?! |
