LinuxFest Northwest 2018: Bellingham Publicly Owned Fiber Optic Network

Jon Humphrey

This is a presentation on the efforts to expand on and provide public access to the already existing municipal fiber optic network in Bellingham. When successful we hope to have an OpenAccess structure backed up by a Dig Once Policy to ensure a permanent solution to issues with net-neutrality and help address many of our social and economic concerns. Many other cities, including our neighboring city of Mount Vernon, have invested in similar networks.
