Joey Durel, Lafayette, LA City/Parish President, provides an update on their Fiber to the Home project in this video interview filmed at the 2012 Broadband Communities Summit. He sheds light on some of the applications that have grown out of having 1 Gigabit connections to schools and businesses, as we well as the 100 Mb/s to residences.

I forgot that I had seen Joey Durel speak at the 2005 FTTH Conference, when they were just embarking on their FTTH build; talk about perseverance in starting and seeing this project through. What’s interesting is the comparison between Chicago and St. Louis and how the development of railroad infrastructure, according to Durel, propelled Chicago’s growth, as compared to St. Louis which stayed with older canal technology.
