Officials with Burlington’s municipal telephone, cable and Internet service say they expect it will be late Tuesday or Wednesday when they file an expansion plan with the Vermont Public Service Board.
Burlington Telecom announced this past week that it hopes to expand its footprint beyond Vermont’s largest city and help the effort to bring broadband Internet access to the entire state.
City officials say they’re able to beat both the prices and service speed of broadband Internet access offered by private carriers.
Officials with FairPoint Communications and Comcast, the state’s largest telephone and cable subscribers, respectively, say they’ll be able to compete well with Burlington Telecom.
