UTOPIA Trailblazing New Opportunity For User-Owned Fiber

In Brigham City (Utah) you can buy your own fiber. And in fact more than 1,600 local residents have already bought in to this new opportunity. With that fiber they'll get access to UTOPIA's competitive and growing ecosystem of service providers, where they get to choose what services from what providers they want running on their pipe. While this may sound radically different from how fiber has been traditionally deployed in the US to date, user-owned open fiber networks have already been a big success in Sweden, helping them wire remote mountainous communities with world-class broadband infrastructure.
