Ivins to the north has also been in discussions with UTOPIA and its UIA political subdivision since last year.

UTOPIA, which stands for Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency, has now built or is in the process of building citywide open-access networks in 17 Utah cities. Santa Clara’s council will decide Wednesday night whether to provide back up for the Utah Infrastructure Agency and UTOPIA Fiber to build a $6.7 million fiber-optic internet network that would connect just about every address in the city to ultra-high-speed internet. “This is going to be a good setup for the city.”

On Wednesday, the Santa Clara Council will decide whether to help create the infrastructure for a fiber-optic internet network that will go to every home and business in the city. This week, Santa Clara might become the first city in Southern Utah to take that question into their own hands. | Photo byįizkes/iStock/Getty Images Plus, St. GEORGE - It’s a complaint Santa Clara City Council member Jarett Waite has heard a lot from constituents: Why can’t we have better internet services?
