Huntsville Utilities Explores Feasibility of Offering Super-Fast Internet
Huntsville Utilities (Alabama), has received City Council approval to engage TBG in conducting a Feasibility Study and Implementation Plan. TBG will define requirements related to expanding the scale of existing infrastructure, supporting a fully integrated Broadband Network, and serving public facilities and Community Anchor Institutions. In addition to Infrastructure and Process review, TBG will conduct city-wide Market research, inclusive of an Institutional Market Study and Take Rate Regression Analysis.
“Huntsville Utilities’ interest in possibly creating a high-speed, fiber-optic Internet network just got a little more serious. At its meeting Thursday night, the City Council gave the utility permission to hire a Las Vegas-based consultant, The Broadband Group, to study the feasibility of getting into the ultra-fast Internet business. Spokesman Joe Gehrdes said Huntsville Utilities currently has a small fiber-optic network for its own data needs.”
