 | There's fiber all over the northern half of the state. In fact in a lot of small towns in Northeastern Missouri there's a good possibility that there's a fiber converter on the outside of your home. Many schools in Northern Missouri are using fiber strands donated by the local ILECs (yes ILECs, they've always been the phone company in those areas) for interactive classrooms to share teachers. They've lately been able to network the schools together to pool resources over the same fiber. 16 strands is a lot of fiber for a school to chew up to another school. |
