Lafayette Votes For Municipal Fiber Network [10:38 pm]
Voters say ‘yes’ to fiber [via Slashdot]
Saturday’s vote authorizes Lafayette Utilities System to sell up to $125 million in bonds for a fiber to the home and business project. It will involve extending fiber optics cable down every city street, then offering residents and businesses the option of receiving high-speed Internet, telephone and/or cable TV service through LUS. City officials said they believe it can offer those services at lower prices than incumbents such as BellSouth and Cox Communications.
