Tired of being underserved and overbilled by shitty regional broadband monopolies, back in 2002 a coalition of local Utah governments formed UTOPIA — (the Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency). The inter-local agency collaborative venture then set about building an “open access” fiber network that allows any ISP to then come and compete on the shared network.

Come to Utah, we’ve got super cheap 10Gbps fiber, all the 3.2abv* beer you can handle, and Mormons every-fucking-where!

*Apparently as of 2019 the law has been changed to 5%abv.
