Vertical Systems group today released the latest data on fiber penetration.
Though fiber penetration is up slightly, 77% of U.S. commercial buildings still do not have fiber-optic connectivity.
From the report:
Detailed findings show that while most large enterprise locations in the U.S. and Europe are fiber-connected, small and medium business (SMB) sites are underserved with fiber from any service provider (i.e., incumbent carrier, competitive provider, Cable MSO, PTT, etc.)…
“The challenge ahead is to extend fiber connectivity to remote business locations. For the U.S. plus countries throughout Europe, this fiber gap exceeds more than one million sites,” said Rosemary Cochran, principal at Vertical Systems Group.
