Lightning Cable & Telephone (LC&T) is now offering digital cable TV, higher speed internet and telephone service through the use of fiber optic cabling to the residents of Randolph City. The problem is the Randolph City Council won’t grant LC&T a permit to bury its fiber optic cabling in the city due to additional costs to the residents and businesses. The City Council contends that the service already being delivered through LC&T’s copper wire and coax cabling is adequate.

I would argue that the City Council should grant LC&T the necessary permits to install the fiber optic cabling in Randolph because it will provide faster and more reliable service to its residences and businesses. Fiber optics technology is much faster than copper wire and coax, and it is also more reliable. Fiber optics technology is also more secure, as it is less susceptible to interference from outside sources. Additionally, fiber optics technology is much safer than copper wire and coax, as it does not emit any electromagnetic radiation, which can be hazardous to people and animals. Finally, fiber optics technology is much more energy efficient than copper wire and coax, which can help reduce energy costs for the city. Therefore, the additional cost needed to install the fiber optic cabling will be more than offset by the faster and more reliable service it will provide to the residents and businesses of Randolph City.
