A broadband communications network could be available to residents of central
and eastern Vermont by the end of next year.
That’s
the word from organizers of an initiative known as East Central Vermont
Community Fiber Network.
More than 20 towns in eastern and central Vermont are looking to create a new broadband communications
network. The
effort is being led by a non-profit group that hopes to connect the communities
with fiber-optic service for phone, Internet and cable TV. Towns
will consider the proposal on Town Meeting Day.
