If there is enough of a demand, the Broadband Council will help to seek a grant. </p><p>Everyone who is interested is urged to attend this important meeting. </p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Christopher L. Sargent, PlannerTwo Rivers-Ottauquechee Regional Commissiontel: 802-457-3188fax: 802-457-4728</p><p><br />Ed. Note: At the same time, Lew Sussmann has been keeping Strafford residents informed about another possible way to obtain high speed access in town---via subscription with Finowen for this service, such as has occurred in surrounding towns including Lyme Center and Thetford. </p><p>Luc Beaubien of Finowen wrote to Lew and said "It would be helpful to us if you could forward at least the addresses of those expressing interest in the Strafford/ S.Strafford area so that I can begin a feasibility analysis" -- but Lew believes that anyone interested in becoming a charter susbscriber (which means you would pay in advance for a year of service to allow them to set up a point of service here in town) should e mail Luc Beaubien at Finowen directly, and include your physical address as well so he can see where folks live on the map. </p><p><a title="mailto:LBeaubien@Earthlink.net" href="mailto:LBeaubien@Earthlink.net">LBeaubien@Earthlink.net</a> </p><p><a title="mailto:LBeaubien@finowen.com" href="mailto:LBeaubien@finowen.com">LBeaubien@finowen.com</a></p>Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08100118955128266626noreply@blogger.com
