Hope Joins with LCI in ConnectMaine Infrastructure Grant Application

The Village Soup Knox Edition reports that the Hope Select Board voted unanimously to support the Connect Maine Infrastructure Grant application of LCI Fiber.  Reservations were expressed, however, with respect LCI's wish to require that broadband subscribers also pay for landline telephone service.  Mention was also made of concern over the a mandatory subscription commitment on the part of customers.  

Notwithstanding this endorsement, the Select Board also maintains interest in the poossibility of providing broadband to the community through the mechanism of the non-profit Midcoast Internet Consortium.
