About iTown iTown's local community public-use network is founded on the principle of openness. First the community public-use network will reach out to all community premises. Second, it is available to all service providers who desire to transport services over state-of-the-art optical transmission paths - incumbents as well as new service providers including telecommunications, video, internet, data and other services. Third, we provide the internet, video and voice services to customers where competitive services are not now available. Lastly, the iTown public-use network provides open choice for residential and business customers to select all the current and future services they desire from the service providers that meet their needs. Service Is Our Focus
iTown is first and foremost a service company. We work
collaboratively with local community leaders and customers. We support service
providers that use our network. By combining a motivated, responsive workforce, a
strong service ethic, and state-of-the-art network and systems technology, iTown
delivers high quality, reliable, friendly service to all customers using the community
network.
Markets
iTown
provides residents and businesses the opportunity to obtain
services which until now have been generally limited to big cities.
We are targeting cities as large as
125,000 in population and towns as small as 5,000 that are part of a larger area
of economic interest that also desires to share the benefits of a community public-use
network. As the need to communicate has grown, many of these communities find themselves
on the wrong side of the digital divide.
iTown is the means to eliminate the divide. Technology
iTown deploys optical fiber to residential and business
premises (FTTP). Our focus is on bringing state-of-the-art services to homes, businesses, government
agencies, schools and other institutions in the community. Our public-use network
connects to each premise with a network interface device that allows connection and
use of existing telephones, computers and televisions as they are currently used for
voice, internet and pay television services, but it is "future-ready" for the delivery
of advanced services like home monitoring, gaming, interactive tv, etc. The network
will be reliable and safe. It is remotely monitored so that we generally see any
problems before our customers do.
iTown's fiber optic network will provide each
resident and business a long lived physical connection to an ever advancing world
of new services.
