Who is MainStream Fiber Networks?

MainStream Fiber Networks offers the only real turnkey solution for the community considering or simply exploring the advantages of owning an all-fiber network. We handle all segments of the process beginning with feasibility study, construction-ready engineering, financial modeling, helping to secure financing, marketing, construction, ongoing management, maintenance and operations, all the way through billing. 

Why own a fiber network?

Digital Darwinism. The world has changed. Communities require a modern telecommunications infrastructure in order to survive. Industry and population are frequently lost to other communities that have modernized their communications infrastructure. Tax incentives are not enough to attract new industry! Mainstream Fiber Networks can design, build and operate an all-fiber network which will be owned by the community, and which will contribute substantial money to the budget every year. We can transform your community into the local leader in providing Internet, telephone and TV services in this new digital era.

Here are a few facts:

  • Today most households subscribe to a cable TV or satellite TV system, paying an average of $600 per year. Most households maintain telephone services that can average around $360 per year. More and more households have Internet access that can range from $300 to over $600 per year. These modern services combined can cost well over $1500 per year per household. Businesses pay significantly more for these services.

  • Only a small portion of this money remains in your community. Most of the money leaves the community and ends up in the hands of corporations.  Very few jobs are created in the local community.
  • It is up to the top management and stockholders of these corporations to determine the quality of services that they will provide any particular community - middle and smaller sized communities frequently are the last to be served with the latest technology.
  • Many forward-thinking communities have taken it upon themselves to provide these services to their residents and find that not only can they provide more jobs and better quality of service but the community can actually make money while doing it - and keeping a good portion of the revenues within their community.
  • Those communities that can provide these services to their residents, schools and local businesses are in a better position to be competitive with larger communities in terms of attracting new industry because they can offer the same highly skilled technically competent employees and the same high-speed communication links as the larger communities.
  • Most communities seldom make a profit on the existing utility infrastructure - water and sewage. Those that develop their own fiber optic communication structure actually find they are making a significant profit by doing it themselves rather than letting "outside owners" do it. 

A Balanced Perspective... Optimal Planning And Synchronized Operations

Management guru Peter Drucker said, "The essence of business is to do the right things... and do those things right." Another way of saying this is that you must create the best possible plan and then execute that plan exceedingly well.

MainStream Fiber is in the business of providing our experienced services to utilities and municipalities seeking a successful implementation of their fiber network and its ongoing operation.

Success is not just a matter of focusing on operations and customer responsiveness, nor is it a matter of better planning. In the typical enterprise tens of thousands of combinations of materials, parts, products, orders, employees, equipment  and tools make for a huge coordination challenge. Factor in the need to coordinate with customers, suppliers, third-party services and internal support personnel, and you have an idea of the complexity in developing your own fiber infrastructure.

Strategic, tactical and operational planning are complex from both a management and analytical perspective.

MainStream Fiber Networks bridges the complexities by offering the only turnkey solution in the market that addresses the problem from concept through ongoing operation. MainStream Fiber Networks offers the security of placing the problems in the hands of highly experienced professionals.
