Layton, are you ready for some UTOPIA fiber? http://t.co/tSHcs5Xb # A fifth of adults don't use the Internet. http://t.co/FXud5WWz # An in-depth look at the legal arguments behind streaming OTA broadcasts. http://t.co/niQ6biy0 # iProvo officially goes back to the city. http://t.co/Q9JJBpqf # Cable overbuilders merge to survive. http://t.co/nZNnCyc7 # Is universal voice service about to [...]
No need to adjust your picture, this is the same Free UTOPIA you know and love. The old theme had become dated, both in terms of having been around for a while and not conforming to the latest visual standards, and it was time for a change. Text should be more readable, especially with inline [...]
I can’t say this is unexpected. UTOPIA has filed a lawsuit against RUS for failing to live up to their contractual obligations under the loan taken out several years ago. The delay in reimbursement caused a lot of strain on UTOPIA vendors, delayed network deployment, and left UTOPIA on the hook for millions of dollars [...]
One of the long-standing complaints with UTOPIA has been a lack of data and, to be honest, it’s a fair criticism (and one I share). At the top of the list is trying to figure out just where the heck service is actually available. Thanks to the Utah Broadband Project, we now know. Just select UTOPIA [...]

As a member of Provo’s municipal council, he’s been a consistent voice of opposition on all things iProvo since as far back as anyone can remember. You may even recall the recent series of articles in the [...]
One of the more interesting parts of UTOPIA’s new plans via the Utah Infrastructure Agency (UIA) is to have cities start taking over billing operations directly. In the past, service providers operated all of the billing and then remitted payment to UTOPIA for the wholesale transport. That arrangement works well for most providers, but every [...]
The Salt Lake Tribune reports today that Google had a few UTOPIA executives come out to their offices last month to discuss how UTOPIA operates. The article insinuates that this may mean that UTOPIA is near the top of the heap in Google’s search for a location to build a fiber-optic network. As tantalizing as [...]
