BROADBAND BREAKFAST INSIGHT: There is much to cheer for better broadband in Utah, including this report from today’s Daily Herald. The Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency, the U.S.’s largest open access network, is on a roll. It is boasting an accelerated buildout in several Utah communities, and commitments to buildout its remaining cities, including Orem. In addition to this piece, see Orem City Councilmember Sam Lentz’s blog post for more narrative on UTOPIA’s turnaround, in which the network “now uses a self-sustaining model to expand the network,” he says. “We are connecting neighborhoods at an unprecedented rate.” Residents of Orem and other UTOPIA cities see their deployment schedules according to the network’s recently-released timeline.
