@seanalan Do you know how they managed to connect those to the internet backbone? Because that is the biggest issue, IIRC.

@yuki2501 they ran fiber to the buildings but not sure who their back haul/middle mile provider is. Middle mile connectivity is an issue in some areas not typically in urban areas. But last mile connectivity is the BIG issue when it comes to delivering service to residential and business addresses

@seanalan Oh, I see. Thanks for clarifying that.
