High Speed Network as Basic Infrastructure - A Success Story
(in Hungary, of course).
Its a town in Hungary where they basically ran Fibre everywhere, as a basic infrastructure play. It worked quite remarkably well. The video is somewhat advert-ish, but the essential benefits do come forth. Broadly speaking
Its a town in Hungary where they basically ran Fibre everywhere, as a basic infrastructure play. It worked quite remarkably well. The video is somewhat advert-ish, but the essential benefits do come forth. Broadly speaking
- Its keeping the young 'uns in town after they graduate, since they are 'connected' - its also stimulating startups
- Its also keeping older people (60+) more 'connected'. (Makes sense, as anyone with kids knows, Facetime/Skype has *huge* uptake amongst the previous generation)
- Its green, and lower cost, since it makes telecommuting actually feasible and realistic
- Its good for industry, helping out with supply-chain management, logistics, and ERP
- Communication is, of course, dramatically simpler, easier, and lower cost
- Its a boon to the media/advertising industry, since its trivial to move data
- Retail benefits, with the ease of melding the web and Brick&Mortar
- Its remarkably cheap - it costs basically nothing to dig a trench and put fibre in. Again, something that we know here - it costs nothing to put in fibre in rural areas..
