Cogeco-owned Breezeline said it is tapping into government funding for broadband deployment with plans to extend its fiber network into King William County, Virginia, next year to target 1,200-plus unserved homes and businesses
Breezeline is funding the expansion along with a $1.5-million subsidy from the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, administered by the Federal Communications Commission. In a release quoting Breezeline VP of operations Sean Brushett, the company said it "completed the field walk out phase, the design phase is now underway, and we expect the construction phase to begin this fall.” The expansion is a multi-year initiative, it said.
