Deltacom’s East Tennessee Middle Mile Fiber Broadband
Project plans to deploy a 544-mile high-capacity fiber-optic
broadband Internet network. More than 50 community anchor
institutions in five Eastern Tennessee communities, from
Chattanooga through Knoxville to Johnson City and Bristol, will
be connected to the high-speed middle mile network. The project
intends to offer speeds of up to 10gbps to higher education and
healthcare institutions, and spur more affordable broadband
Internet access for up to 34,000 households, 5,000 businesses,
and 270 anchor institutions by allowing local Internet providers
to connect to the project’s open network.
The East Tennessee Middle Mile Fiber Broadband Project also
plans to:
 Enhance
healthcare delivery in the region by providing high-capacity
broadband for medical facilities and facilitate telemedicine,
health record transfer, and
distance learning.
Promote
economic development and job growth in the underserved areas
that have limited access to high-capacity affordable broadband
services.
Add five
new points of interconnection in counties designated as
critically underserved.
