100 Mbps Fiber to the Home for $10/mo -northern Sweden From: CAnet-3-NEWS Date: Tue Jan 02 2001 - 09:07:23 EST [Bill St. Arnaud comments: Here is a fascinating story about some entrepreneurial Swedes who built a 100 Mbps Internet network for about 60 homes in a neighbourhood in Northern Sweden. It just goes to show that high speed networks don't necessarily have to be built by large telephone or cable companies. In fact I predict that Gigabit to the Home, particularly in rural -remote areas, will probably be deployed the same way that the original cable systems were built - by small entrepreneurial organizations. National programs that stimulate broadband to the home I think will create a whole new industry of such businesses - BSA] [Thanks to Samuel Lam for this story] You are welcome to visit the page where I describe the hardware we built in my block here in Northern Sweden. In short: we have a 100 Mbps multimode-fibre network to all bungalows and a 100 Mbps singlemode-uplink to the city's largest ISP and a bunch of other cables to each house... There are pictures of excavators, fibreswitches etc. Quite nice, actually ;) acc.umu.se Kind Regards Tomas Bjornerback
