Frontier broadband project 'on track' in West Virginia

While aspects of a statewide broadband infrastructure project are drawing criticism, Frontier Communications officials told state Board of Education members they are on schedule to complete their portion of the project. Frontier is building new fiber optic broadband infrastructure for hundreds of state schools as part of a $126 million statewide project. The funding was provided through a federal stimulus grant. It's being used to boost high-speed Internet connections to schools, libraries, courthouses and hundreds of other public buildings. Mark McKenzie, engineering manager with Frontier Communications, told state board members Wednesday the company's portion of the project was going well.
