FTTH in a small village of 4000!

February 21, 2011

in Access

The communications company of Falls City, a small rural city in Nebraska/USA has completed a full deployment of FTTH across the city and is now nearly finisshing hooking-up all homes and businesses in the area (note: connecting, not activating). The company is working closely with local authorities to increase awareness about the benefits of high speed broadband and results so far look promising.

They have secured a sum of roughly $22 millions from USDA Rural Utilities Service and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to expand the system to the antire city and the surounding rural areas. I would really like to know where are they getting backhaul from and at what prices. Current commercial offerings start at $32 for basic package (6Mbps).

Yet another tiny town with FTTH everywhere!
