I read with interest about the possible plan to bring high-speed internet via fiber optic transmission lines. However, unless the plan includes no-cost wiring to connect to users’ homes and businesses, many could find themselves priced out.

We inquired to Frontier Communications earlier this year about installing high-speed cable to our house. Since the cable run would be over 1,000 feet from Litchfield Road, the quote was over $4,000. We are presently on an ADSL connection. Slow, but it works.

My two cents’ worth…If this is going to happen, any plan for this should include a required connection from the road or street to the outside of every home or business. This is especially important since, due to the Corona virus, many, many more people will be working from home, as we have for almost four decades.
