Chicago's CivicNet to bring fiber to every neighborhood [FAC: I was alearted to thie Lightwave article in the Canaries newsletter] January 2002, By Megan Fuller Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) deployments have already begun popping up around the country-driven by an unexpected source: small-town local governments. Among those municipalities that have built their own fiber-optic networks to bring high-speed Internet access to their constituents are Braintree, MA; Ashland, OR; Coldwater, MI; Harlan, IA; LaGrange, GA; and Wadsworth, OH. Now, major cities are taking note. Three years ago, Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley established the Mayor's Council of Technology Ad visors, a group of 70 individuals from the public, private, and academic sectors who were charged with attacking "the digital divide" and bringing more jobs into the city. The result was CivicNet, a public-private project designed to bring fiber to every neighborhood in Chicago. contineued at: lw.pennnet.com
