Cedar Hill, TX | Exactly! What about all the dark fibre that's NOT owned by Verizon or AT&T that's been dug? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for choices and more competition, but I don't see too many advantages for this company...
HOWEVER, I also wonder how much dark fibre is in rural areas, such as the areas this new ring is proposing. This could be essential to get cheaper 3G and better rural ISPs up and running...

kudos:2 | As for how much dark fiber is in some of those rural areas, I'll bet the answer is a big fat zero... |

What I find interesting is the city I am from in Ohio installed fiber in the mid 1990's. The entire city, passing every home and business. To this day it is still dark. |

The advantage looks like they are willing to break out every 60 miles or so at reasonable rates. Chattanooga has an ungodly amount of fiber that passes with in 1 mile of of two places we are coloed. The problem is getting anyone to hand you anything. Most of the big guys are only interested in handing you a feed from 56M in Atlanta.
I will be talking to these guys very soon as their route through town is pretty close to us. |

Sounds like a big old waste of money to me. I'll bet it doesn't get off the ground.

Youngstown? From the map, it does look like it goes through it, but I can only hope.
edit: nope, not according to the more detailed maps on their site at »www.alliedfiber.com/network.php

yah that fiber in Cleveland going to every neighborhood is owned by TWC, ATT and WOW cable. And is very much used.
I don't know any areas in cleveland that have dark fiber just laying on the poles and not being used that by-passes everyone.

1 edit | I don't know who owns it now, but it was a private company that installed it in Euclid, Oh. I used to work for a government agency that does use a portion of it for the 15-ish or so buildings they have. As of 2007 no other entity was using it and from my contacts now they haven't heard much otherwise. |
|
| i'm wondering if it wasn't One Community that put the fiber in. Nothing else comes up in that area except their name.
