Report says regional municipal broadband utility in Maine is viable

A regional, municipal-owned broadband internet utility in Maine is viable according to a report from Axiom Technologies, a consultant hired by the local communities. The January 2022 report focuses on the creation of a utility to serve the four core communities of Rockland, Camden, Rockport, and Thomaston (ME). In June 2021, the charter towns of Camden and Rockport formed, by an inter-local agreement, a non-profit, regional broadband utility called the Midcoast Internet Development Corporation.
