Ensuring fast internet access for all residents

Initiative done  Initiative type Council initiatives Initiative author Alanko Matti Initiative status Processed

Now, during the coronavirus pandemic, many people are having to work from home using remote connections. Congestion on network connections is causing significant delays, making it harder to work, increasing stress levels and reducing work efficiency.

I propose that the municipality of Tuusula, in cooperation with operators, install open fibre optics so that every resident has access to a fast internet connection. Such open fibre optics are being installed in the Lahela area. Since the fibre optic cable itself is cheaper than its installation, the municipality must ensure that fibre optic cable is also installed in the same trench as all new water pipes. In old areas without fibre, cable installation should begin in areas that are furthest from other services such as schools, healthcare, post offices, banks, shops and pharmacies.
