  • Brough Brough Turner , Founder & CTO at netBlazr Inc. Since this slide deck is mostly pictures, I've written a comment for each slide that gives the essence of what I said while the slide was on the screen. This approach will probably fail if and when others add comments as their comments will end up on top.

    However, for now, please click on the tab 'Comments on Slide 1' to view the presentation with my script.

    Thanks,

  • Brough Brough Turner , Founder & CTO at netBlazr Inc. The best outcome would be private ownership or at least control of individual dark fibers to every building.

    Obviously there are an enormous set of vested interests that would oppose any change in our current completely obsolete legal and regulatory environment, Vested interests who would indeed prefer to settle for “Network Neutrality” rather than see the form of structural separate that makes sense.

    Let me suggest that, in Sweden, the approach was more like 'Structural Bypass,' i.e. there has been public sponsored support of dark fiber which is then made available to anyone, even the monopoly phone company, on equal terms.     4 years ago Reply

  • Brough Brough Turner , Founder & CTO at netBlazr Inc. Finally, I must mention Stokab AB a city-owned corporation whose whole charter for their first eight years was to install and lease dark fiber under the street of greater Stockholm.
    Today they have over 1.2 million km of fiber in the ground, over 800 optical distribution frames in local buildings and dark fiber to every block in metro Stockholm.     4 years ago Reply

But they were able to wire their own neighborhood, in part because the rights-of-way were owned by the neighborhood association, and they had a couple of eager beavers who wanted to make it happen. And they were able to get good connectivity to a nearby city, because Sweden has extensive dark fiber networks. 4 years ago Reply

  • Brough Brough Turner , Founder & CTO at netBlazr Inc. Personally I’d like to see individual homeowners own or at least control their own individual dark fibers. But is this even possible?

    Let me briefly touch on three places that prove it is possible.

    First in Quebec. This is a government program to aid schools and there were several years of political battles before it was enacted, but it is working now and it’s fostering the spread of condominium fiber projects where, not just school boards, but local businesses and local ISPs get access to dark fiber at reasonable cost.

    Some of what's listed on this slide is still in progress, but it's a great start.     4 years ago Reply

  • Brough Brough Turner , Founder & CTO at netBlazr Inc. There are some choices for who lights the fiber. But bear in mind the useful life of the electronics that lights the fiber. 4 years ago Reply

  • Brough Brough Turner , Founder & CTO at netBlazr Inc. So you may have only one or a very few fiber optics cables into any neighborhood and only one fiber to any given property. The good news is one cable can hold many fibers and it doesn’t take up that much space in the right-of-way. 4 years ago Reply

  • Brough Brough Turner , Founder & CTO at netBlazr Inc. And, the right-of-way owner has some legitimate interest in who gets to put how much junk in the right-of-way. 4 years ago Reply

  • Brough Brough Turner , Founder & CTO at netBlazr Inc. Whether the right-of-way is owned by the state, the municipality or a homeowners association, or it is a deeded relationship between neighbors, it is a bottleneck. There is only one right-of-way that gives access to most properties, and that's true anywhere in the world. 4 years ago Reply
