On October 11, the Fiber to the Home (FTTH) Council Americas called on the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop a community fiber density index. In a letter submitted to NTIA, the FTTH Council built on its earlier recommendations to the Broadband Opportunities Council by proposing that NTIA and the NSF develop a “Community Fiber Density Index,” which would serve as a basic research tool.
