Just wanted to pass on the latest news from Monticello. Also if you’re in or around Monticello, you can get a chance to meet them as Fibernet Monticello will have a booth at the Business Expo held at the Monticello High School gymnasium (5225 School Blvd). This event will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Stop by if you can attend!

This fiber build includes construction of 11.19 miles of fiber optics that is an important subset of the larger FiberNet Monticello project.

The Fiber Loop will connect important commercial, industrial and civic facilities thereby allowing commercial and industrial users to have access to high-speed fiber optics for data only services via 100% fiber optics thus contributing toward the achievement of economic development goals. This fiber loop will also connect City Hall, Community Center and Public Works facilities to improve communication/data speeds and reduce Internet access expenses. The service provided at this time would include high-speed data only and no telephone or cable TV.

This projects includes the ability to connect up to 200 businesses that it will pass along the fiber route including the downtown area and most of the industrial park. Construction is anticipated to commence by the end of the year 2008.
