Politicians jump on fiber-to-the-home bandwagon
Via EETimes.com:
Several politicians used the announcement of a new market study on the exploding fiber-to-the-home market Tuesday (May 10) to harp on the need to upgrade the nation's broadband infrastructure.
The study, designated U.S. Optical Fiber Communities, was authored by market researcher Michael Render. It notes that fiber-to-the-home installations have grown 83 percent since October 2004, reaching 398 communities in 43 states.
The study was presented at a Capitol Hill press conference hosted by Senators Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Gordon Smith (R-OR). Both gave resounding verbal plugs for advanced broadband technology, but stopped short of saying whether the government would step in to advance the fiber-to-the-home movement.
