Thanks again for your support, you are awesome. Overall, I come to you today with very good news. One of the most frustrating things in this adventure, for actual choice and necessary infrastructure improvements, has been that myself and some of the other providers have been asking the city to do a real assessment of how much fiber they actually have. Most of us had the sense, or even proof, that there was a lot more fiber out there than they had admitted to at the March 27th meetings when Public Works Director, Ted Carlson, erroneously told the council that the fiber network wasn't substantial enough for the public to use (even though we paid for it and other providers have been asking for access to it). The truth is that they didn't know for sure. Today, Mark Gardner noted that, "Our Public Works dept. is currently doing an inventory of the fiber network to get better understanding of its capacity. It seems it has developed incrementally, and not all the technical specifics were documented. See also the map – a not unsubstantial network, at least in terms of extent of coverage." I will provide a link to the map again, but in short, there is more capacity out there than admitted to, it reaches most corners of Bellingham, and we own it. On a personal note, if I had lost track of this much fiber at any of my IT jobs, simply because I was too disorganized, (insert other reasons here), to document it correctly, I would have been fired. I wonder why we have a different standard for accountability in regard to our public services. Seems like that's worth saying out loud. So it sounds to me like it's time for the city to cut the crap, give us access to the resources we've already paid for, and commit to a dig once policy to expand them.
