Last weekend I visited the island of Naxos, during a long business/holidays weekend of October. Well, there is fibre in Naxos and here’s the proof for it. Check the picture at the end! All public buildings (hospitals, municipal services etc) are equipped with fibre access, and a metro network spreading across the centre of the city is already deployed. There is a great opportunity for the local authorities to take advantage of it and not let it rust under the Aegean humid winds! The opportunity of a fibre access and metro network is unique for many cities in the country that benefited from recent government funding (Information Society Operational Programm – Calls 93 & 145) and should not be left unexploited. Naxos, as all the touristic destinations in the country has strong potentials to benefit from fibre infrastructure by offering advanced broadband services to the public and the touristic waves of every summer.
By the way, if you have information on broadband access (municipal or not) projects around Greece and you want to see them here, by all means, email me!
