BACKFENCE

BackFence Network was created to continue operation of the prototype neighborhood network that was left behind. The name refers to the roots of the AirSwitch/SwitchPoint projects in that the broadband network was installed along the back fences of the homes to which service was provided. Today BackFence provides gigabit Internet service to 250 homes in northwest Springville, Utah, for only $25/month, and is operated and maintained by the neighborhood.
