« Nevada: Wireless Gambling in Las Vegas | Weblog | VO Wi Fi On the March » Muni Broadband attracts attention2theadvocate.com: News - LUS plan 'great ... venture' 07/01/05 Municipal Broadband is getting attention. As this article describes, Silicon Valley is watching municipal broadband deployments with great interest because of the impact it can have on the technology world. More and more applications will be available once networks are in place, and municipalities have the potential to drive this deployment. Scott McNealy, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Sun Microsystems, said LUS's plan to build an ultra-fast fiber-optic network to each home and business in the city is "progressive and a great innovative venture." "It's the talk of the Valley right now," McNealy said, adding that Sun's chief scientist is probably the "biggest evangelist (for the LUS plan) around the world." LUS will ask voters on July 16 to approve up to $125 million in bonds to build the network, which will be used to provide low-cost phone, cable and high-speed Internet service.
