A group of telecommunication professionals have offered to bail out Burlington Telecom in exchange for management control of the nonprofit utility. The โ€œteamโ€ of nine men, who represent tech, legal and energy firms, sent a detailed proposal to the City of Burlington on Feb. 17. The three-point plan would provide a โ€œsafety netโ€ for Burlington Telecom in the event that the city is unable to shore up the utility on its own.

Burlington Mayor Bob Kiss says the city will consider the offer. Read the letter here.
