So do I need to start advertising my fiber as “physical fiber works by using sharks with lasers to connect customers to the internet." I remember a time when I once thought this business was going to be that easy.

With marketing bullshit materials that have billboards, bus stop ads, ads on buses and such showing fiber optic cables. And that's a huge ILEC.

They called it fiber service, the fiber delivered high speed to a point right outside your home or business (as long as right out side was within 10,000 feet) From: Tim Withrow via AF Sent: Tuesday, January 01, 2019 12:07 AM To: af@af.afmug.com<mailto:af@af.afmug.com> Cc: Tim Withrow Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Virtual fiber "virtual fiber works by using wireless signals to connect customers to the internet." "Though the technology FiberXstream uses is available to the mass market" Sounds like someone has great ambitions and has got overzealous with marketing rhetoric for a wireless network. ________________________________ On Tuesday, January 1, 2019 TJ Trout <af@af.afmug.com<mailto:af@af.afmug.com>> wrote: Anyone know what virtual fiber is and why it's harder to deploy than traditional fiber?? 🤣🤣 https://tdn-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/tdn.com/news/local/homegrown-internet-provider-brings-castle-rock-area-out-of-dark/article_d3d8dc39-f1e8-5b19-8735-efd262fcdc2d.amp.html?amp_js_v=a2&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQECAFYAQ%3D%3D#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Ftdn.com%2Fnews%2Flocal%2Fhomegrown-internet-provider-brings-castle-rock-area-out-of-dark%2Farticle_d3d8dc39-f1e8-5b19-8735-efd262fcdc2d.html -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ________________________________ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
