WASHINGTON, July 28, 2010 – This Monday, the architects of Vermont’s experimental rural fiber network, the East Central Vermont Community Fiber Network, announced that financing for the project was “well under way.” The pilot is expected to be a trial of a new concept envisioned by Project Director and former general manager of Burlington Telecom Tim Nulty that rural broadband access can be offered at no risk to taxpayers. Currently, Nulty projects that the project will become profitable if just under half of all households in the covered area subscribe to the new network.
