According to Las, the business model is quite straightforward. In addition to caching servers, they pay for content, and a per-subscriber fee for the video service, while Whitepaw and Innovative supply the signals, software, and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IS STB an Option for Streaming<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Las says most of their video customers are bringing their own Roku, Amazon, and Apple devices, but Lightspeed offers the Set-Top-Box  from Innovative Systems that can be configured to receive their Streaming  video service.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.innovsys.com\/innovsys\/innostream\/is-5045w6-set-top-box\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.innovsys.com\/innovsys\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/VS_7-25_6-1-1024x442.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.innovsys.com\/innovsys\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/VS_7-25_6-1-1024x442.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.innovsys.com\/innovsys\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/VS_7-25_6-1-300x129.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.innovsys.com\/innovsys\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/VS_7-25_6-1-768x331.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.innovsys.com\/innovsys\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/VS_7-25_6-1.jpeg 1159w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the Lightspeed brand continues to expand in Wisconsin, it currently serves approximately 8,000 broadband customers and around 1,000 video subscribers. While many municipal providers across the country have faced challenges in offering broadband and related services, RUC has demonstrated success, as shown by its expansion into new
