In the winter of 2001-02, the
City Council created a telecommunications utility in order to provide
badly-needed broadband service to Sandy residents and businesses. SandyNet
DSL service was launched a year later, and SandyNet Wireless went on the air
a year after that (January 2004). SandyNet Wi-Fi service was initiated in
2006, as well as direct microwave service to large businesses. We are seeing a steady increase
in customer interest and sign-ups.
We have exceeded our goal of a base of 150 SandyNet customers.
This budget assumes an expansion of the SandyNet wireless coverage area in
order to fill in service gaps within the city limits, as well as in nearby
areas where service is economically feasible.
Startup costs are funded
through a loan from the water and sewer funds; the city's broadband service is
expected to be self-supporting in the long run.
