Fiber-optic cable now connects Nevada
By Nicole Raz, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Rural communities between Las Vegas and Reno have a better shot at boosting and attracting business.
Valley Communications Association of Pahrump, which is a member of the co-op Valley Electric Association, and Churchill County Communications finished 11 months of work at the end of January installing more than 450 miles of fiber-optic cable connecting Northern and Southern Nevada.
Switch funded the installation to connect its data centers in Las Vegas and Tahoe-Reno. It also made fiber available for Valley and Churchill to expand into rural areas.
