• “Why build several highways?” • One infrastructure for everyone to
use on an equal basis• “Open Access” for all, ensures
lower cost of entry to new service providers
• City managers more receptive to requests to trench within the city limits
• Speeds up time to market and revenue generation
• Service Providers have access to unlimited bandwidth enabling the introduction of advanced services
• More service providers and better communications bring more investment and economic growth to the specific regions

• Secure Data
• Virtually Unlimited Bandwidth
• Equipment Agnostic
• Equipment Resilient
• Extended Lifecycle – 20 – 25 Years
