Google Fiber

[Wake4estMike]

At a new complex my company is building in Raleigh (cameron village area) AT&T is bringing fiber to each unit for their U-Verse product. They are getting very aggressive with their marketing agreements and capital expenditures to lay down the infrastructure--should be some good competition now.

U-Verse is old news

laying down the fiber in cities and other densely populated areas is just way too damn expensive. However the more suburban areas get it. But tearing up pavement covering cobblestone to lay wires in cities? LOL

I just pulled up a service map I found for the Balt-DC corridor and its hilarious how the dots are dispersed around the beltways but barely any inside.

But somehow South Korea, Singapore and other densely populated countries have achieved 100% broadband penetration.

You can't just look at population density in a vacuum. Ultimately, it's a business decision.
