Michigan Broadband to take over AT&T lines

Carney (MI)-based UP Fiber said it will acquire AT&T’s wireline assets in the Upper Peninsula. The move means Michigan Broadband Services will provide sales, marketing, billing and technical support to AT&T customers after the close of the transaction. The AT&T wireline assets represent more than 9,000 miles of copper, 1,500 miles of business fiber, and network infrastructure across 40 wire centers that collectively provide voice and internet service to more than 9,000 residential and business customers, according to a recent news release from the company.
