Cisco Installs Fiber Network In Amsterdam

W. David Gardner writes on TechWeb News:

The Netherlands city of Amsterdam has begun to deploy a citywide fiber network that combines city governmental and business interests in an effort to roll out services that range from TV and telephone to home care and education.

Cisco Systems, which is managing the activation and utilization of the network called Glasvezelnet Amsterdam, said formal installation is getting underway on Thursday.

The private and public collaboration is aimed at providing a combination of telephony, TV and Internet access at competitive prices. Glasvezelnet's goal is to cover some 450,000 Amsterdam citizens before 2010.
