simonmart on 13 Jun 12Last week, a Palo Alto city commission voted to recommend the abandonment of the city's years-old effort to bring fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) high-speed Internet connectivity to its residents. In a 4-3 vote on June 6, the Utilities Advisory Commission recommended to the City Council that the city stop analysis of expanding the city's existing dark-fiber network to all residents. The recommendation came on the heels of a feasibility study that did not have promising conclusions.
