Rob Fish, deputy director for the Vermont Community Broadband Board, noted, 'As a result of the construction, some previously unserved and underserved areas of the state won't need funding through the rural broadband BEAD program.' This highlights the significant progress in addressing previously unmet broadband needs in Vermont.
Fish stated, 'We're increasingly confident that we'll be able to serve every unserved and underserved location in the state.' This reflects the successful strategy Vermont has employed and indicates a promising future for broadband access.
He emphasized, 'We're highly confident that we will be able to serve 100/100 Mbps service for everyone on the grid.' This confidence stems from the state's ongoing efforts to implement fiber broadband, which represents a significant upgrade for residents.
Fish elaborated on the uniqueness of Vermont's approach, mentioning, 'Underserved rural communities organized themselves into communications union districts (CUDs), and broadband funding was allocated to each CUD based on road miles.' This innovative structure has been key to their success.
