Re: Municiple Fiber said by kleinml:Tell me If this would work. I am a Municipality and I am considering a Municipal Fiber network. But really what Town wants to run their own fiber network forever. So I build out my network bring everything to central point. Then allow any Cable TV company that wants access to sell to my town. They make the Connection right in my Central Office. After Initial roll outs. once a customer is connect to a Provider that provider contracts for the fiber from the CO to their House. If the customer changes providers the new provider is responsible to maintain. I think that would bring True competition to my Town. Is this a crazy Idea or do you guys think it would work? Sending an RFP out for network management is pretty much going to be the norm for such deployments. After all, very few small municipalities are likely to want to spend for a CCIE, a staff of more junior people, etc. Whether they'd want to lease the physical plant to multiple ISPs is another matter altogether.
