Not everywhere in NM are things as bad as in SF. I was talking to Barry this morning at FRIAM about City Link (citylinkfiber.com) which offers fiber connectivity in ABQ. They use robots to lay fiber in sewers. Besides gigabit service, as a comparison, 100 Mbs bidirectional to the home is $50/month. John Brown of CityLink tried to put a fiber ring in SF at his expense and then sell service in Santa Fe. He spent years trying to get the city to cooperate without success.
Also, there are place around Santa Fe that took advantage of a variety of programs to improve their broadband availability> Santa Fe may wind up being a black hole in the middle of the state. Availability of broadband in what Owen classifies as third world may surprise many of you. Many developing countries weren’t burdened by copper infrastructure and have been able to make major improvements while we’re stuck with legacy providers using their political power to prevent progress.
