Because special projects, such as video conferencing, require significant amounts of available fiber, ITC has established a fee-based fiber leasing service to departments. Fiber leasing is dependent on fiber availability. Rates were established based on cost experience over several years. Leasing is only available in special circumstances.
Leases are available by annual contract.
The department is responsible for repair charges for problems not related to the fiber. Time to repair is not guaranteed because of previous commitments, but an estimate of repair time will be given. Fiber connections between any two points are not guaranteed at all times, since, in the event of a shortage, ITC may need to temporarily take over a leased line. Return to Network Operations .
