   A few months ago, SkyLine Chief Technology Officer Jimmy Blevins and Business Communications Consultant Bill Brock, both of whom worked with the school system on the original copper WAN project were discussing SkyLine's current plans to deploy fiber to the premise (FTTP).
   ...
   "Fiber is not new to SkyLine," said Blevins. "We've been placing fiber into our network since the late 1980s. SkyLine established several fiber optic rings to increase capacity and create redundancy, and more recently, we've extended fiber to most of our remote facilities. The final step in this process is to take fiber to the customer premise and by doing so, we can deliver much greater bandwidths of data, video or other next-step technologies to the customer," he said.
   ...
   "The WAN projects have eliminated any previous bottleneck challenges by having a direct connection to each school, so now, all schools have basically the same degree of download speeds," said Blevins.
