| What's the problem?
Decades ago we built out a nationwide phone network to virtually everyone/everywhere. The voice network served its purpose but is now approaching end of life.
So why can't we build a fiber network today?
If the telcos don't want to do it then they should STFU and get the hell out of the way of those who do!

| Absolutely, a FTTH network will be built to the majority of homes in the U. S. of A. It might take a few decades but it will happen one way or another so if the chief executives of telcos don't want to do it they must either get out of way or be run over by the technology. |

The only company that was ever big enough to run a national fiber network and maintain it was the old AT&T pre divestiture. That's where I have a feeling these muni deployments will fail is in maintaining the service. I think in the end corporate entities will have more flexibility for consumers and be able to offer more comprehensive bundles that they won't be able to compete with. They won't make enough money just selling internet service to make it work. |

| You of course already knew that the network is in fact not maintaining the network themselves, but by DynamicCity, after winning a contract, after the organization sent out a Request For Proposals. You of course already knew that the organization sells no service to customers themselves, but allow any ISP that wishes to, for a small fee. You also knew that said ISPs sell far more then internet service.
