San Francisco's patchy data connectivity could become a thing of the past after mayor Mark Farrell and supervisor Ed Lee released a report containing a blueprint to bring fibre connectivity to every home and business in the city. The study by consultants CTC Technology & Energy details how fibre planning needed to be split into "dark" (the infrastructure) and "lit" (internet services) fibre. San Francisco's authorities would tender in a private firm to set up the publicly controlled dark fibre network extending to every home and business, while third-party outfits would win leases to provide the lit fibre: connecting users.
