Re: Mass-market

Some rural telcos are putting in FTTH, FTTF (farm), FTTR (ranch), well, you get it.

Goldenwest Telecom (South Dakota) is in the process of upgrading their entire network to FTTH. I was in the phone exchange that got switched first.

Pretty progressive. But, due to their tariff, they won't be changing any speeds until full deployment (or, until regional deployment is complete, at least). But they will be able to supply phone, internet and television, even to some very remote farms and ranches.

AFAIK, Fiber deployment to rural areas does not have any distance limitations like DSL for instance...still doesn't mean the companies will invest the extra cable to get out there though.

As for the comment about losing ground to other countries, I think US ISP's need to realize they have already lost major ground. The time to improve is NOW.
