Cullman Electric and 3-GIS explore the advantages and challenges facing a rural utility company breaking into telecommunications. Expanding into this field may not be as far-fetched as some utility businesses may think. In fact, with established networks, experienced field crews, developed administrations, existing infrastructure, and pre-existing relationships, utility companies have many resources skilled to succeed in deploying and operating a fiber network. Though the road to installing fiber networks is not easy, the presenters detail the roadblocks, challenges, and tools available to help companies transition.
