It is a very political discussion that will likely never result in any form of consensus, especially among this group because of financial interests involved, as to whether or not government should be involved in building fiber networks. However, from my perspective (and UTOPIA Fiber's), interest

Most of what Chuck says is true about the first phase of UTOPIA. It was a disaster. Some of it was their fault, some of it wasn't. For example, AT&T was actually the first service provider on UTOPIA and had an initial exclusivity period. One day the higher-ups at AT&T decided to abandon that pa

Not sure why anyone would say the UTOPIA/Brigham City project didn't work. ~25% of the city pre-committed for services which was enough to back a bond to fund the whole city's fiber build. Since then subscriber-ship has continued to increase, is now at about 33% across the entire city, and genera

I would recommend steering away from a Special Assessment Area as a mechanism for funding FTTx. A bond with an SAA repayment still needs some form of backstop and in the case of Brigham City, the city placed liens on the properties as the backstop to the bonds. It worked to get the bond and fund

What speeds do you need? If 100 Mbps is adequate, there are bidi SFP transceivers for MMF. However, I have never seen any rated for MMF use at GigE or higher. I've done several 1310nm over MMF applications using mode conditioning on two strands. However, mode conditioning is directional and won
