Wilbraham Broadband Committee Explores Market Viability and Future Steps

The Wilbraham Broadband Committee discussed the feasibility of pursuing municipal broadband, reviewing past efforts and considering current market conditions. Concerns were raised about the potential for market saturation and the financial viability of competing with incumbent providers. The committee decided to gather updated information on market offerings and to re-engage with a past potential partner, EntryPoint, to assess any changes in their landscape before making further recommendations to the select board. A member expressed frustration with the pace of progress and decided to step down from the committee.
