Sifi Networks pitches council on privately funded, $500 million project to install fiber optic cable across Cleveland
Sifi, which has helped set up fiber networks in 11 states but which has yet to complete more than one individual project in its FiberCity intiative and which has faced lawsuits, nevertheless sold council on its plan for a street-by-street installation of a network that would then be used by Spectrum or other ISPs."Fiber is a multi-lane highway," he told Council."Private ISPs pay a fee to ride that highway—there's no rocket science behind it.
Such a build, which would require trenching near city sidewalks, could add hundreds of union jobs"for a sustained amount of time," said Bill Fenton, director of design at Always Underground. Most of them would tap electricians from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and last years at a time.
Other than the hours-long talk about gigabits and ISPs, Bradshaw's pitch seemed both to worry some Council members and confuse others. After all, for Kazy, such a too-good-to-be-true pitch for a city-wide contract that could, in theory, last until 2103. Although Cleveland could be Sifi's 41st customer, the company ran into some deep growing pains starting in 2019, with its first clients.as the Fullerton Observer reported
