Future-proof, upgradeable wired and wireless infrastructure, as designed by iUHBA, will cost much more than the amounts promoted by most muni-Wi-Fi and community fiber hopefuls; the problem is similar to the hype surrounding WiMAX and most flavors of FTTH. The likes of Clearwire (USA) are overestimating the reach and power of WiMAX transmissions. Even the mighty Verizon's FiOS project is not future-proof when compared to iUHBA's FiberBroadband Strategy.

Almost all planners completely ignore the fact that local multi-gigabit backbones are needed if rich-media services are to be deployed or used by mobile and residential or business subscribers. To build future-proof, high-capacity systems and networks, one must heavily invest in equipment, technology and infrastructure.

In the city officials' noble and ideological ambition to bring broadband to their constituents, they may be achieving just the opposite by insisting on their own terms and conditions. These conditions keep away willing investors and companies such as iUHBA. Cities and local governments should stay out of this business and leave it to innovative companies.

Competition should be natural and market-driven: between DTH (Direct-To-Home Satellite), DSL (Telcos), Cable (multi-system operators), BWA (Wireless operators), Mobile/cellular, FTTH/O, and Terrestrial operators. The building and operation of commercial infrastructures (content and data service providers are commercial players) should be a market opportunity, not a government-dictated/monopolized "grab-all" issue of unfair competition. The often cited notion that asphalt infrastructures and highways were also built by the governments is not a correct comparison. There are already several communications infrastructures in place in 90% of the United States, namely the ones described in the first part of this paragraph. Depending on how one looks at it, BWA and FTTH/O services are a privilege, not a primary need or right, regardless what the economic benefits for a region are. It is up to the market, and not the government, to come up with a solution and a service.

iUHBA is determined to grab a substantial market share in its markets (USA, UK, NL) and believes that this will happen because only iUHBA has the technological know-how and business solution to build large-scale 1-10 Gbps FTTH/O infrastructures and up to 100 Mbps FWMA systems.
