Vermont's broadband plan places priority on serving slow speed areas

Vermont's Department of Public Service, through its 2014 telecommunications plan, has set a goal to bring higher speed broadband services to parts of the state that today can only get lower speed DSL or dial-up Internet service.

The plan addresses developments in traditional telecom and cable services, while making recommendations on network neutrality. In addition, the plan takes a deeper look at the capital cost requirements to bring fiber to every E-911 location in the state.
