Fiber Project Announced For West Virginia

Fiber to the home may be coming to West Virginia communities in the near future. A Virginia company has announced plans to build a series of open-access broadband networks in communities across West Virginia.

Using ultra-high-capacity fiber optic cables, iTown Communications Inc. can deliver telephone, video, high-speed Internet, home security and other data services to homes, school and businesses, company President and CEO Keith Montgomery said.

The first network will be built in Beckley and in Raleigh and Fayette counties, Montgomery said. Parkersburg and Bluefield signed on last month and other communities are in discussions with what the company calls the West Virginia First Project.

The company plans to install its own fiber network in communities, stringing cables along utility poles with individual drops to homes and businesses, just as telephone and cable companies have done. In each community, iTown would set up a separate public/private company to build the network, he said.
