A school system is Georgia has built its own fiber network for the scant price of $2.2 million! That provides 10 gigabites to the network. No word on what the monthly costs are. A similiar network plans on selling 100 mbits for only $28!!

Now the "do-it-yourself" model has begun to move into more densely populated areas, like Douglas County, where telecommunications providers and cable operators are already offering services. These municipalities want to control their own networks, and they want to be able to offer services to their government agencies or constituencies that the local incumbent provider is not offering, such as fiber to the home (FTTH).
