1. FIBER FROM THE HOME
a paradigm shifting story, by Marc Duchesne, green fiber evangelist
ENGAGE Kick-Off Conference • High Speed Broadband For Rural Europe • September 25, 2012 • Nevers, France
2. Note
I wrote the first version of this presentation in early 2010.
I published it on Slideshare for the FTTH Forum in Budapest, Hungary.
At this time, the ideas developed here were in their infancy.
More than 3,700 views, 30 downloads after, several real case examples do
exist in Europe and North America that prove those concepts to be viable,
and sustainable.
Let’s continue to spread the World.
_Marc Duchesne, 9/24/2012, Nevers, France.
3. “Our intuition is that an innovative model holds unrealized promise:
household investments in fiber. Consumers may one day purchase
and own fiber connections that run from their homes.”

using digital technology with two-way communications to control
appliances at consumers' homes to save energy, reduce cost and
increase reliability and transparency.

deliver both smart meters connectivity and triple-play services to
residential and enterprise customers.

Chattanooga is the very first city in the US to offer a 1Gbit/s
service to its residents.
