Los Angeles reportedly is moving forward with a plan to establish a high-speed fiber network across the entire city. Beginning next month, the Los Angeles Information Technology Agency will issue a request for proposals to bring access to a high-speed fiber network to every residence, business and government entity in the city limits. The city wants its 3.5 million residences and businesses to have free access to the network at speeds of 2 Mbps to 5 Mbps. Higher-speed tiers — up to 1 Gbps — could be subsidized by advertising or fees.
