municipal utilities installed fber optic systems solely for their own needs. Tey later wished they had spent the little extra required for a larger system. To add this capacity after construction, they would duplicate many expenses. BWP found building surplus capacity into a new system was far less expensive than adding capacity to an existing system. With the consent of the city council, BWP began the construction and operation of the proposed telecommunications system. As the utility modernized its water and electric utilities, it made increasing use of both overhead and underground fber optic cables as a secure means of telemetry and control.

it had been required to install new poles or underground conduits. BWP was then in a position to lease its unused fber strands, or dark fber, to customers that needed additional, secure "roads" on the "information highway" and that had their own means of obtaining switched services. As BWP developed more sophisticated communications networks, including Ethernet, it developed the capacity to do optical switching. As with dark fber, BWP had excess capacity that it could provide to generate revenue from interested customers and assist in at least partially ofsetting costs of establishing the Ethernet network that the electricity and water systems needed for their own operations. 1 Miles Burbank Water and Power Operational Technology, City of Burbank, 164 W.
