OzarksGo in Fayetteville, Ark., initially took down the legacy video service because of the Oct. 7 cyber incident, saying a few days later it was unsure when service would be restored to the 4,500 customers affected.
But Mitchell Johnson, president and CEO of Ozarks Electric Cooperative, OzarksGo's parent, said in a new update that the company has decided that it would not attempt to keep the video service going.
