Re: No details on houses passed; costs; hookups; etc
Keep in mind to that NKC is in a small area across the river from KC and surrounded by KC on all sides. This left NKC in a small under served pocket. It took longer for SBC to bring DSL there because of the need for a remote terminal. You still can't get SDSL in NKC. And Time Warner on recently made a deployment effort to businesses in NKC as part of their PR during the lawsuit days.
If NKC wanted to meet the needs of new businesses, they had to do something.

still, at 45 mbs, it's probably better than what the commercial folks are offering. I applaud them for North KC for this. Using the tax money for something worthwhile. Even with the log wait for deployment, I don't see any difference between that and people live in Philadelphia not getting broadband access because Verizon won't go there. Besides, private companies are motivated by profits and less likely to deploy broadband in places where they won't make money. The city Government isn't out to turn profit... |
