Utah Cities To Provide High-Speed Net Access

Posted by timothy on Monday November 17, 2003 @03:28AM from the municipality dept.

Instarx writes "The New York Times reports that Salt Lake City and other Utah cities plan to install an ultrahigh-speed optical network as a public utility project starting next year. The network would provide internet access [for about $28 per month] in direct competition to slower commercial offerings. The network would be capable of delivering data over the Internet to homes and businesses at speeds 100 times faster than current commercial residential offerings. It would also offer digital television and telephone services through the Internet."

Envy? by Dr.+Spork · 2003-11-17 03:32 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Well, I would envy the people who get this deal... if they didn't live in Utah. Don't get me wrong, I think Utah is beautiful, but unless they put in all new people along with the cables, I'm staying away.
