The Chattanooga Electric Power Board could pose a threat to AT&T’s growing network [2] in Tennessee. The EPB is launching an FTTH initiative [3] with a price tag of $200 million, expanding their Internet and telephone services and breaking into the cable industry. The process incorporates citizen input along the way. It’s expected to take some time to implement it and will need to go through several more stages of approval including to the state controller’s office and the City Council. If all goes well, EPB hopes to begin service to its first customers in about a year.

More information can be obtained from the EPB news release [4] and the EPB website [5].
