Emmett, Idaho adds to community fiber optic network

Broadband

Now in its third year of installing fiber optic cabling, the city of less than 10,000 continues to serve as a model to others. Funding comes from a combination of city funds and grants, Knittel said.

Emmett is continuing to add fiber optic cabling to its city-owned network, and is starting to foresee the time when all city offices and resources are hooked up.

At that point, the city can start thinking about how to provide broadband internet services to businesses, said Mike Knittel, systems administrator. Once the fiber optic cabling is extended into the community, the city will be able to use the technology to recruit tech businesses.
