HUMBOLDT JMZ Corporation, doing business as KwiKom Communications, will place fiber optic cable In Humboldt by way of an ordinance Humboldt council members approved Monday night.
A presentation by the company said the high-speed cable would be extended first to downtown businesses and industries, later to residential neighborhoods. The project will open another opportunity for residents to tap into television, telephone and Internet services.
Kwikom has had a presence in Humboldt for about 10 years through wireless communication devices, with repeater antennas, including on its downtown water storage tank.
