Multichannel News: “Bright House Beats Verizon Fiber for Gig”

March 17, 2014

TBG client, Metro Development Group, and Bright House Networks announce Florida’s first gigabit community and ULTRAFi network.

From Multichannel News – March 17, 2014

“The amenity package [for new housing developments] used to be a golf course; now it’s connectivity.  We only have one chance to build a new community … I looked at who was in the market and who was motivated. Bright House got it,” Tom Reiman, president of The Broadband Group, the firm that advised MDG on the overall plan, explained.

“All homes in these new ‘UltraFi’ communities will be pre-wired and include home automation and security services and feature access to 1-Gig-capable WiFi networks on nearby trails, clubhouses and playgrounds.

And expect next-gen video services to play a role. ‘We have a timeline and roadmap to get to full IP video,’  Reiman said.”
