Video bundling for community-owned fiber.

Over $45B in BEAD/UBF funding is deploying fiber for municipal utilities and electric co-ops across North America. Operators need video to bundle with broadband, reduce subscriber churn, and justify the infrastructure investment. LS3 is built for operators without dedicated video engineering teams.

Managed operation
Your utility runs the network; LS3 runs the video platform — monitored and maintained under one agreement.
"A community that funded its own fiber shouldn't lose subscribers over a TV bundle. Video is the retention layer on top of the investment you already made."

Common questions

From facility directors and operations teams evaluating a connectivity partner.

We have no video staff. Can we still offer TV?
Yes — that is exactly the operator the platform is built for. LS3 deploys and manages middleware, billing, content, and network monitoring. Your team keeps running the fiber network.
How does content licensing work for a municipal network?
LS3 holds a BDU content distribution license and manages carriage as part of the platform. Your network offers licensed channels and VoD without negotiating individual agreements.
Does video really affect churn on a community network?
Broadband-only subscribers are exposed to bundled offers from incumbents. A video bundle answers the triple-play comparison and gives subscribers one more reason to stay on the community network.
Where does LS3 operate?
LS3 serves municipal utilities, electric co-ops, and community networks across Canada and the United States, headquartered in Toronto.
