SLC Council hears views on UTOPIA (Heather May, The Salt Lake Tribune, March 3, 2004)

"   Supporters of UTOPIA are wowed by the possibility of the high-speed fiber-optic network boosting economic development and quality of life in Salt Lake City.
"    Opponents -- including a sizable number of Qwest employees who could lose their jobs if UTOPIA is built -- see a risky venture that could hamper development if better technology comes along."

Salt Lake City council members are weighing the views to help decide whether the city should join other Utah cities to support the UTOPIA project by backing bonds to build the infrastructure. UTOPIA, the Utah Telecommunications Open Infrastructure Agency, plans to deliver broadband via its fiber optic network to every home and business in its membership communities.
