As Yates Engineering Services meets and plans with power companies across the regions, we find one consistent driver for a Rural Electric Member Cooperative (REMC) to offer fiber based broadband services. It is the idea that no other service deployment can help the company increase its number of customers like broadband can! If you want to reverse the trend of people moving out of your service territory and revenue loss due to a decrease in meters., then you r best next step is to consider a fiber optic broadband network deployment. A service area with great fiber optic broadband will drive an increase in your power membership and revenue also!
