Earlier this week, the Burlington City Council asked the final two Burlington Telecom bidders to combine their plans to take over the city’s fiber network.
Representatives for the for-profit company Ting and the co-op Keep Burlington Telecom Local say they will work on a joint proposal. But some city councilors and others remain skeptical that the bids can be combined.
The council twice failed to choose one bidder over the other at its meeting Monday night. Some councilors now speculate that bids from two other companies that previously fell by the wayside could be put back on the table. And Burlington residents on both sides of the debate continue to voice their opinions.
On this week’s podcast, Burlington reporters Morgan True and Cory Dawson talk to VTDigger editor Mark Johnson about where the sale stands.
