Consolidated Communications today publicized its plans to extend fiber broadband to 11,500 Mainers starting in early 2022. This activity is underwritten by $31 million from the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) reverse auction held last fall. The firm has six years to complete the expansion work it proposed. Midcoast Maine communities included in the published list include Belfast and Winterport. No towns in Knox or Lincoln County were included. The story includes some general statements by the firm in regard to modernization of its network.
