Nothing Cold about Internet Connectivity In Iceland
October 23, 2003
Reykjavik,
Iceland may soon become the first city in which every home is connected to
the Internet with fiber optic cable. While many in the world still
have analog dial-up connections or no connections, Reykjavik is about to
take a quantum leap. According to Gudjon
Mar Gudjonsson,
a consultant in the broadband
industry who lives there, the icy capital city of Iceland has
an unsurpassed fiber infrastructure. Apparently, the city's utility company
and the formerly state owned telecom operator are competing to build
what may be the world's first city with "Fiber-To-The-Home " for
every one of it's households. The full story will be presented at a conference
-- Digital
Reykjavik -- sometime before yearend. Gudjon saysthis time of the year
is a wonderful time to visit our Iceland. You can check the forcast below.
