Maine's 1,100 Mile Three Ring Binder high-speed Internet Network is Complete

Maine state, congressional, business and community leaders gathered in Brunswick to celebrate the ahead-of-schedule, on budget completion of Maine Fiber Company's 1,100 mile fiber optic network highlighting the economic benefits already being felt and the tremendous economic development potential going forward.

"Maine's Three Ring Binder network is complete and open for business," said Maine Fiber Company CEO Dwight Allison. "As of today, any qualified company that wants access to fiber optic infrastructure to expand true high-speed Internet service to consumers and businesses across Maine can get access to fiber at affordable, non-discriminatory rates. That is good news for Maine's economy and we are here today to say thank you to all of our state and congressional leaders, to the leaders at the U.S. Department of Commerce and the NTIA, and to our local business partners. This day would not have been possible without support from all of the people who saw the economic development potential of this network."
