FTTH Council Counts 217 Fiber-Connected Communities in U.S.

There are now 217 communities in 37 U.S. states with fiber-to-the-home projects underway, according to the latest survey by Render, Vanderslice & Associates and TeleChoice. Eighty-nine communities were added to the list - an increase of 70% since the last update in May. The Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Council and the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) said the list shows that FTTH deployments continue to be driven by municipalities, competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) and new residential developments. http://www.ftthcouncil.orghttp://www.tiaonline.org
