    Plaidoyer de l’EFF pour un plus grand développement de la fibre communautaire locale (et contre leurs FAI à l’attitude oligopolistique anti concurrentielle qui pourrissent le marché).

    Between the net neutrality debate and the Comcast/TWC merger, high-speed Internet access is getting more attention than ever. A lot of that attention is negative, and rightly so: Internet access providers, especially certain very large ones, have done a pretty good job of divvying up the nation to leave most Americans with only one or two choices for decent high-speed Internet access. Many of us don’t like those options.

    Conclusion

    Community Fiber can play a role in addressing several important problems facing widespread high-speed Internet access, but it faces many challenges as well. Each community will need to tailor its approach to their local circumstances and will want to learn from the experiences of those that have tread this path already. We hope we can raise this issue’s profile and shine a light on a path forward.
