Lafayette Vote Favors Muni-Fiber Build
The city of Lafayette, LA won the public’s approval to move ahead with a $125 million bond to fund the city’s construction of a new fiber-based broadband system capable of delivering high-speed Internet, video programming, voice service and more.
Voters agreed by a 62% to 38% margin to give the city the go-ahead on the controversial telecommunications build, one that caught the furor of cable and phone companies and captured the national spotlight as municipalities around the country seek to build their own communications systems.
