Burlington Telecomm Article in the Free Press
April 26, 2008 on 4:19 pm | In Bethel, Politics, Techspeak | Comments OffSee this article on the current state of Burlington Telecom which ran in the Burlington Free Press yesterday. I think it is written pretty fairly, from my perspective, and raises some legitimate concerns. Note that, while BT may be behind on its predictions, it is projected to break even within the next few months. Taking advantage of current low interest rates to refinance its current debt load is probably a good opportunity for them to sustain this status, and move into the black in the future. The questions about the lack of details in early plans are legitimate, and things that EC Fiber must be certain to take into consideration now, or hopefully, they already have.

EC Fiber is Alive and Well!
April 24, 2008 on 9:19 am | In Bethel, Politics, Techspeak | Comments OffThe headline and article in Saturday’s Valley News about ECFiber (“VT Telecom Panel Snubs ECFiber”) left a seriously misleading impression that the fate of a grass roots effort depended on the Vermont Telecom Authority (VTA). In fact, it does not. Continue reading EC Fiber is Alive and Well!…
VTA versus ECFiber – Let’s Put This To Rest
April 22, 2008 on 3:09 pm | In Bethel, Politics, Techspeak | Comments OffIt would seem that, based on the other amounts of grant funds which the VTA has awarded, the amount given to ECFiber.net is right in line with their other awards.
