Going high-tech isn't just for technology companies anymore. Nearly every business today depends on broadband and high-speed Internet data access, Internet transactions, electronic data interchange and countless other varieties of data transmission. And it's not just big companies that need high-speed connections. Small to mid-sized businesses in every industry and every city block are asking for, and need broadband access.

So if you want to attract and retain businesses and consumers, you need to get connected with a fiber optic network that enables companies to connect to the carriers of their choice. And clearly, you need to do it in a way that doesn't damage the infrastructure the way most network deployment does.
