Updated U.S. Optical Fiber Communities List Released

A total of 94 communities across the U.S. are currently providing FTTH broadband services to customers, according to an updated list released by the Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Council and Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). The groups cited Provo, Utah as an example of where FTTH is making in-roads as a municipal goal. In Provo, city officials are reviewing a plan to make FTTH services available to all of the city's 32,000 homes and businesses by the end of 2005. Provo recently completed a FTTH pilot program and is currently delivering voice, video and/or data services to approximately 1,100 homes.



The "U.S. Optical Fiber Communities" study listed 70 FTTH communities when it was last released in March 2003.
