Small Market Gigabit Deployments Gain Steam with TDS, Comporium News

Judging by three separate announcements recently, gigabit broadband certainly seems to be catching on in smaller markets. TDS Telecom said that it has made gigabit Internet service available in Hollis (NH). And Comporium, which earlier announced plans for gigabit service in Rock Hill (SC) released additional details about those plans.

Comporium said its gigabit service will be available in a re-development zone planned for the former textile town. And in a pre-briefing about the announcement, Comporium public relations director Paul Kutz told Telecompetitor that the company expects to turn up its first gigabit customers around June 1.

The TDS and Comporium small market gigabit announcements come on the heels of an announcement from Bolt Fiber Optic Services, which said it plans to offer gigabit Internet service in northeastern Oklahoma.
