Bonner County regional
fiber-optic network in works
An effort to establish a regional fiber-optic network in Bonner County is gaining political bandwidth, according to the Bonner County Economic Development Corporation.
The cities of Sandpoint and Ponderay, in addition to the Ponderay Community Development Corporation, have agreed to make refundable contributions toward the Panhandle Regional Fiber-optic Infrastructure project.
There are also plans to seek similar commitments from the cities of Kootenai and Dover, said Bonner County EDC Executive Director Karl Dye.
The city of Sandpoint has put up $24,500 and Dye hopes it can secure commitments from the other jurisdictions to cover the $50,000 cost to jump-start the fiber-to-the-premises project with U.S. MetroNets.
Utah-based U.S. MetroNets hopes to attract investors for the $14 million regional fiber-optic network project and then an anchor service provider to operate and maintain the system.
