Rural and small town broadband company iTown is making a splash in the press this week with its recent deal to bring 100 Mbps service to small towns in West Virginia. USA Today’s Leslie Cauley has a piece on iTown’s deal to deliver the turbo-charged service to the communities in Beckley-Bluefield and Wood County, WVA.
That arrangement, like all of iTown’s initiatives, is premised on private-public financing, with iTown putting up $30 million to build the fiber-based communications network, and state revenue bonds paying for the rest of the project.
