Sale of Broadband
On Tuesday last, by unanimous vote of the City Council, American Fork sold its in-city broadband network to Surpha, Inc.
This is big news, and good news for those who want to see the network thrive. Surpha has the necessary capital to upgrade the system from copper to fiber, increasing its capability and dependability. Eventually, Surpha plans to add telephone and television to the service. I sat in on many hours of negotiations with this Orem-based firm and have full confidence in its financial and technical acumen.
For further details including purchase price and bond balance, I'm highly recommending Caleb Warnock's and Barbara Christiansen's write-up in Friday's Daily Herald.

The way in which American Fork has chosen to sell its network stands in stark contrast to the methods used a little further south. Kudos for negotiating this in the open and finding a company with some history in the competitive marketplace to take over this asset!
