Charge:
|
The town has created a Broadband Committee to study ways to increase the
availability of high speed internet service and other related services in our
town. We believe that access to these kinds of enhanced telecommunications
services is important for the economic vitality and quality of life in our
town. The committee will serve as a forum for discussion and research into
potential options and will make recommendations to the Selectboard and to the
town as a whole. There is a lot going on lately with the Mass Broadband and
Wired West and we would like to have broad discussion and participation
from all interested parties.
