DynamicCity Claims UTOPIA MilestoneMarch 7, 2005 | Post a comment
no ratings OREM, Utah -- DynamicCity, an Open Access Architect for transformational fiber-to-the-home projects, announced today the first rollout of breakthrough broadband fiber service to the home utilizing the Utah Telecommunications Open Infrastructure Agency (UTOPIA) network. UTOPIA is based on DynamicCity’s Open Service Provider Network™ (OSPN) network in Orem, Utah. Residents now have access to the MSTARmetro service, offering 10 Mbps of upload and download Internet access speed for $39.95 per month, representing 3 times faster service at less cost than cable broadband access. On a per megabit basis, the cost of MSTARmetro is less than $4 per month, compared to at least $15 per megabit for either cable or DSL access, and up to $200 or more for dial-up. MSTAR is the first local service provider to take advantage of UTOPIA, the largest municipal fiber project in the country, including 14 founding cities and 160,000 potential subscribers throughout Utah. “We are very encouraged by the response MSTAR is receiving for the initial service offerings“ said Keith Wilson, CEO at DynamicCity, the company responsible for designing, building, and operating the network infrastructure for the UTOPIA project. “Orem households are seeing the immediate value of a municipal fiber model that offers true broadband with blazing speeds and breakthrough pricing.” MSTARmetro will offer up to 100 Mbps service in the coming months for some of the fastest residential Internet speeds in the world, along with integrated telephone and television service at dramatically lower costs than other service packages. Now MSTARmetro customers can browse the web and even transfer huge files, including photos, videos, and other files with virtually no wait time. “The OSPN model finally gives us a fair playing field to compete on,” remarked Jon Hansen, CEO of MSTAR. “It’s a model that allows us to offer services that we normally could not offer. Operating on UTOPIA is like a dream come true. We can sell breakthrough services to our customers and we don’t have to rely on our chief competitor to make the service work. This is great for the community, great for competition, and I believe will allow Utah to regain a technology leadership role once again.”
