[Davisgig] Meeting with Communications Resources

[Richard Lowenberg]

Very good point, Steve.
The UCD student apartment units are definitely going to 
help make the case for FTTP in Davis.    There are excellent 
reports, articles and case studies on such deployments in
other college/university towns.    Broadband Communities
magazine and conference regularly features such work.

For Design Nine, I was in eastern Idaho last year, where
BYU-Idaho was doing just such a thing, with the City and
with one provider.   Fiber on poles, to the building blocks,
and internally distributed with high speed wireless or Cat-6, or ?

I wonder if that's feasible here. I'd love to find a way to make big apartment complexes early supporters of this project.
